about

Diana May Clark and the Sunny Set from Melbourne, Australia.
Diana has a big love for Brazilian music and culture, spending much of her life singing in Portuguese wrote this on honeymoon in Brazil about the Santa Teresa tram from central Rio to the hill top artisan community.
The tram is currently out of action sadly due to an accident with fatalities in 2011. The people of Santa Teresa have long relied on this tram as their main link to Rio and are rallying for its safe return.

lyrics

We’ll ride the tram the people call Bonde
Like a sardine can playing pinge-ponge
African beats rise from Portuguese streets
Cool as Johnny Depp, the boys all hitch on the side step

Lua de mel in Brazil
Honeymoon bonde pinge-ponge
Lua de mel in Brazil under the spell of a moon of honey, yeah

We’ll taste a fruit of the Amazon daily,
Sugar loaf sweet Cavaquinho ukelele

Lua de mel in Brazil
Honeymoon bonde pinge-ponge
Lua de mel in Brazil under the spell of a moon of honey, yeah

Unified, we’ll ride Batucada Bonde
Unified, we’ll ride Batucada Bonde
