Santa Claus in Rio (Happy Samba Version)

„Santa Claus in Rio" was composed by Lisa Rabél and released 2012 on Lisa’s CD „Weihnacht unter Palmen“. German Lyrics by Jonny Blue.
A song about Santa Claus who gets lost in Rio de Janeiro in the heat of the summer.
Gerald Pfister wrote the funny English translation.

1) Well, Good morning, Santa Claus! But, have you thought this through? Because
Now, the sun is shining bright, and your sweatsuit’s pretty tight!
Well, Good morning, Ol’ Saint Nick! This was really quite a pick!
All your gifts were customs cleared. Overnight, they disappeared!

R) Santa Claus in Rio - Rio, Rio … Dio mio!
Sugarloaf with Santa’s sleigh, that’s no easy reindeer play.
Palm-lined beaches in the sun, dazzled reindeer, on the run.

2) Buenas tardes, Santa Claus! Here on the beach, time for a pause.
As your sleigh sinks in the sand … could get slightly out of hand.
Buenas tardes, Ol’ Saint Nick! Fix the harnesses real quick!
For, you know, the reindeers’ feet love that spicy, samba beat!

3) Boa noite, Santa Claus! Survived the day and served the cause!
Dancing samba is no crime. But, it will take you some time!
Boa noite, Ol’ Saint Nick! Make sure reindeer coats are thick.
For, your next stop is the pole and the cold will warm
