Songs from Rio Rita- The Silken Shawl
And you have room for me?
Beneath your silken shawl.
Would you like company?
My little sun-kissed doll.
And what is your objection,
To moonlight and the palms?
I'm rapped in your affection,
So rap me up in your arms.
And what could be so fair,
With you so close to me.
Oh what a happy pair,
Oh what a world it t'would be.
So if you really care,
I'm at your beck and call.
If you have room for me,
Beneath your silken shawl.
Songs from Rio Rita- Sweetheart and the River Song
Sweetheart:
Sweetheart,
I have found you sweetheart,
And around you sweetheart,
I weave my dreams.
Dearest,
To my heart your dearest,
In my thoughts your nearest,
Through the silvr'y streams,
Of our dear Rio:
Calling,
I can hear you calling,
Like the water's falling,
I hear your song.
Each wave caressing,
Finds my heart confessing,
I will love you,
Love you sweetheart,
All life long.
The River Song:
Love by the river of my dreams,
I've built a castle there,
A castle in the air,
Waiting,
For who knows who?
I've reached him on silvr'y streams,
These dreams,
While song birds up above,
Told me in songs of love,
Someday,
He'll come for you.
And then beneath the palms,
We met and we knew.
A dream with all it's charms, came true.
All life began there.
Oh happy river of my dreams,
Go ripple on so free.
Oh echo this for me,
Sweetheart,
I love you!
This singer has to be heard to be believed. Her name is Carlotta King At the end she hits the highest note(possibly ever recorded!). The picture's fuzzy, but it's still enjoyable. This clip is from The Desert Song and I do not know half of what she's saying.

Still from the Fox Movietone Follies of 1929. This movie is lost.

From Chinatown Nights. Directed by William Wellman.

From Paris (1929). With Irene Bordoni and Jack Buchanan. From the Miss Wonderful number.
Schwör mir keine Treue, leist mir keinen Eid, denn es reizt das Neue jeden mit der Zeit. Heiße Herzen geben niemals Ruh, suchen frischen Antrieb immerzu. Schwör mir keine Treue, weil ich mich zerstreue - gerade so wie du.
Alfred Döblin, Berlin Alexanderplatz (1929), S.202
