Luís Remo de Maria Bernardo Fernandes (born 8 May 1953) is a Goa-born Portuguese singer and musician.

She was just a teenage girl off to Calcutta
Unsure of whether she'd make somebody smile
She ended up going many an extra mile
Bringing Love to the poor of the whole world
Man, woman and child

She started off alone in the slums
Growing in thousands without the beating of drums
By the time she died she had opened
610 missions in 123 countries
Haha... Not bad! For a woman who had just hoped
To make somebody smile

I can still picture that little white sparrow
Walking into my scary slum for the very first time
I didn't think she would last a day

Oh! Take me to Calcutta where they need me
I wanna make my life worth it's while
Take me to Calcutta where they can use me
And maybe I can make somebody
Smile smile smile
I'm going to Calcutta where they need me
I'm going to make my life worth it's while
I'm going to Calcutta where they can use me
And maybe I can make somebody smile

I'm going to Calcutta where they need me
I'm going to make my life worth it's while
I'm going to Calcutta where they can use me
And maybe I can make somebody smile
Smile
Smile
