Full lyrics

Meu Rio de Janeiro a gente te adora

Mesmo sendo de fora tem que se acostumar

Mulatas desfilando em Copacabana

Todo final de semana vamos forrozar


A gente da um duro e ganha dinheiro

Pra gastar com sanfoneiro e tomar banho de mar

As noites cariocas deixa a gente louco

Mesmo passando sufoco

Ninguém quer sair de lá


Corcovado nos espera de braços abertos

É um sonho certo, a gente acordar pra sonhar

O Rio de Janeiro se mistura com zabumba

Com cuica e com pandeiro pra sambaiozar

Translation

My Rio de Janeiro, we adore you

Even being from outside, you have to get used to it

Mulatas parading in Copacabana

Every weekend we're going to forrozar


We work hard and earn money

To spend with the sanfoneiro and swim in the sea

The carioca nights drive us crazy

Even going through hardship

Nobody wants to leave there


Corcovado awaits us with open arms

It's a sure dream, for us to wake up to dream

Rio de Janeiro mixes with zabumba

With cuica and pandeiro to sambaiozar
