In Rio's arms we sway and sing
Where Samba beats and sunsets cling
Beauty flows like a bright parade
Dreams in the sand softly laid


Girls of Rio sun-kissed essence
Grace the beach with joyous presence
Laughter floats on easy breeze
In this city hearts find ease


Oh Rio girls under the sky
With their eyes like stars that fly
Dancing through the evening hues
In their step no one can lose


Sugarloaf stands tall and wide
As we wade in low tide
Smiles brighter than the moon
In Rio magic's always soon


Oh Rio girls under the sky
With their eyes like stars that fly
Dancing through the evening hues
In their step no one can lose


Carnival in heart and soul
Every woman plays her role
Sunsets paint the city's dream
In Rio we forever beam
