How my heart is singing
I see Rio de Janeiro
My lonely, longing days are over
Rio, my love there by the sea
Rio, my love waiting for me

See the cable cars
That sway above the Bay of Guanabara
Tiny sail boats far below
Dance the samba as they go
Shining Rio, there you lie

City of Sun, and sea and sky
Mountain of green rising so high
Four minutes more
We'll be there at the airport of Galeao
Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro
Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro

Statue of the Savior
With open arms above the yellow seashore
Sugar Loaf in majesty
Climbing from a silver sea
Dark eyed girls who smile at me
City of love and mysteries

Fasten seat belts, no smoking, please
Now we're descending
And everything's rushing and now the wheels
Touch the ground

Statue of the Savior
With open arms above the yellow seashore
Sugar Loaf in majesty
Climbing from a silver sea
Dark eyed girls who smile at me
City of love and mysteries

Fasten seat belts, no smoking, please
Now we're descending
And everything's rushing and now the wheels
Touch the ground
