SAMBA DE VERÃO by Marcos Valle, new lyrics by Joel Sattler
New title: "Rio!"
The city
Marvelous
Built for the two of us
Swim all day
In the surf
Happy from dawn to dusk
Dance all night
Do it right
Party from dusk to dawn
Sun comes up
Tide comes in
And it goes on and on
Rio!
Rio on the sea!
In the whole wide world
There is not another place on earth
that I would rather be!
On the beach
Watching the
Beautiful girls go by
Within reach
In my mind
I have to say: "Oh my!"
Tropic of
Capricorn
Mountains down to the shore
Sand so white
Sky so blue
So who could want for more?
Rio!
Rio on the sea!
Then -
Paradise
Is the place
where you can
Never say
when!
City of
Troubadours
Music from door to door
Tropical-
ia sound
Moving your feet around
Every one
Has a heart
Beating in perfect time
Every one
Has a dance
This is your second chance
Rio!
Rio on the sea!
In the whole wide world
There is not another place on earth
that I would rather be!
Kisses for
Everyone
Love here in every way
Everyone's
Beautiful
Even just for a day
When you laugh
We all do
Every one plays the fool
And we all
In the spring
March in the Carnival!
Rio!
Rio in the sky!
There -
isn't another place
In the world
I'd rather
fly!
There -
isn't a
nother place in the world
I'd rather
be!
There -
isn't a
nother place in the world
I'd rather
be!

Original lyrics in Portuguese by Paulo Sérgio Valle
Você viu só que amor
Nunca vi coisa assim
E passou, nem parou
Mas olhou só pra mim
Se voltar vou atrás
Vou pedir, vou falar
Vou dizer que o amor
Foi feitinho pra dar
Olha,
é como o verão
Quente o coração
Salta de repente
Para ver a menina que vem
Ela vem sempre tem
Esse mar no olhar
E vai ver, tem que ser
Nunca tem quem amar
Hoje sim diz que sim
Já cansei de esperar
Nem parei nem dormi
Só pensando em me dar
Peço,
mas você não vem
Deixo então
Falo só digo ao céu
Mas você vem
