How my heart is singing I see Rio de Janeiro My longing, lonely days are ending 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 sailboats far below Dance the samba as they go Shining Rio, there you lie City of sun, of sea, and sky Mountains of green rising so high Four minutes more we'll be there
At the airport of Galeão Rio de Janeiro [x4] Statue of the Savior With open arms above the yellow sea shore Sugar loaf in majesty Climbing from a silver sea Dark eyed girls who smile at me City of love and mysteries Fasten seatbelts, no smoking please Now we're descending and everything's rushing And now the wheels touch the ground
