In the hills of Rio's light
Santa Teresa comes alive
Dancing hearts and moon bright
Feeling free we all arrive


Streets with colors dreams all blend
Laughter echoes round each bend
Music's pulse that never ends
Where the nights and souls defend


Santa Teresa joyous rise
Parties endless in the skies
Rhythms lift us to the highs
Where our spirits sing and fly


Steps of stone with stories old
Whispers magic softly told
Feel the warmth as nights unfold
Hearts of silver nights of gold


Every alley every sign
Holds a piece of what's divine
Joy and rhythm intertwine
Here in Rio's heart we shine


Celebration never fades
Santa Teresa's fine parades
Every dance a serenade
In the memories we've made


Santa Teresa joyous rise
Parties endless in the skies
Rhythms lift us to the highs
Where our spirits sing and fly
