Feel the rhythm
Hear the beat
In the streets of Rio
Where the dancers meet
From Copacabana to the Sambadrome
We're gonna dance till the break of dawn

Under the moonlight
We're on our feet
With the Christ the Redeemer looking over our beat
From Ipanema to the Lapa stairs
We're gonna move our bodies like we just don't care

Rio nights
Dancing in the city lights
Samba grooves
Taking us to new heights
In the land of sun and sea
We're free
Rio nights
That's where we wanna be
