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
