Sun's rising over Rio
Golden light on the sand
Waves dancing with the people
Paradise in our hands


Palm trees sway in the breeze
Laughter fills the air
Music plays on the streets
Love is everywhere


Copacabana dreams
Where the sun always beams
Beauty all around
In this vibrant town


Bright bikinis in the sun
Smiles as wide as the sea
Joy in every motion
Living wild and free


Caipirinhas in our hands
Life is just so sweet
Walking hand in hand
Down this famous street


Copacabana dreams
Where the sun always beams
Beauty all around
In this vibrant town
