City in the springtime
Colors in the air
From the hills to Rocinha
Love is everywhere


Oh Rio de Janeiro
Where the nights never end
Dancing in the moonlight
With the beat of my friend


Laughter in the markets
Music in the street
From the beach to the favela
Feel the samba beat


Oh Rio de Janeiro
Where the nights never end
Dancing in the moonlight
With the beat of my friend


In the heart of Rocinha
Life is full of fire
Dreams up on the hillside
Climbing ever higher


Oh Rio de Janeiro
Where the nights never end
Dancing in the moonlight
With the beat of my friend
