Brazilian Girls is the first album by Brazilian Girls. It was released on February 1, 2005 by Verve Records.

Contents

The song "Me gustas cuando callas" ("I like you when you're quiet") is based on a poem by Pablo Neruda, from his well-known 1924 collection Veinte poemas de amor y una canción desesperada, and "Die Gedanken sind frei" ("Thoughts Are Free") is a German protest song about the freedom of thought that became popular with the revolutions of 1848. The French song title "Les sirène(s) de la fête" means "the mermaid(s) of the party."
