Rio [English translation]

Free and rebellious,

You are one of those

Who dances and beats

To the rhythm of the samba

Ipanema isn't just the girl that we think she is

In this city

The heart in the water

A forest

Is the refuge of boats

Every night

Red is the colour of her skin, her skin

It's not worth the pain

I am no longer the same

Rio

Your sugarloaf is a bird

Jesus himself has given up his cross

He keeps vigil within you with open arms

And your children

Of all different blood

Walk on the rooftops

There isn't just Guanahara

The ball at his foot

No dreams could crumble

Winter is dead

Summer is January

Rio

Your sugarloaf is a bird

Jesus himself has given up his cross

He keeps vigil within you with open arms

Rio

Carioca, this is your flag

Each colour

Defining your faith

Green Tijuca

Blue, bossa night

Yellow, Copacabana

White and Certi

The water is the earth

Where you come to life

Rio

Rio

Rio

Your sugarloaf is a bird

Jesus himself has given up his cross

He keep vigil within you with open arms

Rio fala do amor
