Performed by Bertie Higgins The heat is rising now the rain is gone Our hearts are beating like drums of the Amazon Deep in the afternoon up in that tiny room Our secret rendezvous in Brazilia Your Father's a rich man of the rubber trade He would gladly take my life for the love we made Such a dangerous Portuguese he takes just what he please He takes everything he sees in Brazilia The long road to Peru lies to the West Past the sleeping soldiers the burning rain forest Please come and go with me We'll build a house beside the sea As far as we can be from Brazilia The heat is rising now the rain is gone Our love is flowing like the Amazon Deep in the afternoon up in that tiny room Our secret rendezvous in Brazilia
