[ Featuring Edmundo Ros ]
I heard them sing
"Come to the Mardi Gras"
It was Rio in spring
Time for Mardi Gras
I saw her there
Confetti in her hair
Swept along by the throne
Wasn't long before we met
When we kissed my heart beat faster
Faster than the castanet
Then we watched the moon
Come to the Mardi Gras
Like a painted balloon
At the Mardi Gras
Romance was ours
Beneath Brazilian stars
Love is there in the air
Everywhere that you are
Make your sweetest dreams for two
Come true, come to the Mardi Gras
Rio was dressed for the end of the night
With gaiety and laughter
Every lover's heart was light
The town was on a spree
A joyous jubilee
I was lonely, just a stranger
'Til they called to me
Yes, I heard them sing
"Come to the Mardi Gras"
It was Rio in spring
Time for Mardi Gras
I saw her there
Confetti in her hair
Swept along by the throne
Wasn't long before we met
When we kissed my heart beat faster
Faster than the castanet
Then we watched the moon
Come to the Mardi Gras
Like a painted balloon
At the Mardi Gras
Romance was ours
Beneath Brazilian stars
Love is there in the air
Everywhere that you are
Make your sweetest dreams for two
Come true, come to the Mardi Gras
