If I could write a song I would
About a man who was no good
If I could sing this song in rhyme
I’d sing it in 4/4 time

And I’d sing,
Oh la la la
Oh la la le

The key for me will be Dm
The chord of the heart rings the third flat but finer
If words bereave me in my ode
I’ll improvise in the Dorian mode

Singing,
Oh la la la
Oh la la le

The feel shall be to drink this song
And tango the rhythm, dance it all night long
The style shall find itself at ease
As a lovers’ lullaby sung in Portugese

Agora eu deite-te a chorare
Eu canto para te alegrare
Se fores antes de eu acordare
Eu veso para a minia concau levares

Cantar
Oh la la la, Oh la la la, Oh la la le
Oh la la la, Oh la la la, Oh la la le

Cross the bridge to the final verse
Signs say Del Segno, Da Coda, da curse
Looking ahead, repeat it before us
No we’ll vamp and we’ll fade in the final chorus

Singing,
Oh la la la, Oh la la le
Oh la la la, Oh la la la, Oh la la le
Oh la la la, Oh la la la, Oh la la le
