Brian Wilson - South American Lyrics
Got a letter from a long lost cousin of mine
Who owns a little piece of heaven in the Argentine
It's a different planet, it's a different place
He calls it out of this world without traveling to space
No equation to unravel algebraically
It's written in the wind and on the tropical sea
From south of the equator it keeps callin' to me
South American well you know I would
South American if I only could
I wanna be, I wanna be going back
You only get to heaven if you chase your dreams
Let the paparazzi flash, let the tabloid scream
I'm hungry and I'm doing lunch with Cameron Diaz
South American she's got that tango look
South American she'll read you like a book
I wanna be, I wanna be going back
It rolls off my tongue like a magical phrase
A simple translation this message conveys
Gimme that, gimme that South American girl
I wanna be, I wanna be where it's at
South American I'm not on some trip
South American I just long for a ship
A sailing boat or anything that floats
Going back

Brian Wilson South American Comments
Is this like a homage to kokomo or something?
A very underrated Brian Wilson album and i love the whole production, especially on Lay Me Down , Keep an Eye on Summer , She Says That She Needs Me and South American
LOVE this tune~Jimmy Buffett was KNOCKED OUT over Brian Wilson's harmonies on this song! No one comes close to his unique melodic sounds. <3 :D
Two genuine American treasures: Jimmy Buffett and Brian Wilson. Many many hundreds of hours of pure joy from both men. Happy 76th birthday, Brian.
Absolutely awesome song!!!!! WOW!!!!!
Islands in the stream
That is what we are......
Love Brian. Shame he don't love himself. He's a legend in my eyes x
"who owns a little piece of heaven in the Argentine, is a different planet is a different place because is out of this world without travelling to space" Yep, thats my country <3 <3
Jimmy Buffett and Brian Wilson are absolutely two of the greatest geniuses in the business.
Already Graduation South Alabama Yes I Am South American
I LOVE the lyric "outa this world without travellin to space" ... fabulous song. The lyrics are 100% pure Jimmy Buffett and the melody & harmony-singing are 100% pure Brian Wilson. These 2 should do more collaborations together !!
Sounds like ELO - Calling America
+oodles86 it does wow great call, at 2:17 catch the Marcella thing going on there.
I never noticed that before! Two great songs though :D
Wow, just listened to it. That's a little too close
I cannot rep you high enough for discovering that. Same exact song.
I absolutely love this song.
"I'm hungry and I'm doing lunch with Cameron Diaz..." 😎
Lyrics by Jimmy Buffett. As far as I can tell, Buffett never performed it himself. But he did record another Brian song, "Sail On Sailor". I put both in my Buffett playlist. Thanks for the upload!
+trfesok Saw Buffett do it live in VA in 1998.
Really? Have you found it on YouTube?
+trfesok No. It was at Nissan Pavillon in June I think. Think he did it live with BW in Cali later that year.
Saw them do this live in San Diego in 97. Amazing
luv you brian
Number one in my house....
Thanks for the post!!
