Rio de Janeiro stills beautiful
Rio de Janeiro stills being
Rio de Janeiro, february and march²
Hello, hello, Realengo
That big hug!
Hello, Flamengo fans³
That big hug!
Chacrinha stills*
Shaking his paunch
And honking to the girl
And commanding the masses
And keeps giving
Orders in the yard
Hello, hello, Mr. Chacrinha
Old warrior
Hello, hello, Terezinha

Hello, hello, Mr. Chacrinha
Old funny man
Hello, hello, Terezinha
That big hug!
Hello, lady from the slum
That big hug!
Everyone from Portela*¹
That big hug!
Every february month
That step!
Hello, Banda de Ipanema*²
My routes trough the world
I drawn by myself
Bahia already gave me*³
Ruler and compass
The only one who knows me is myself
That big hug!
To you who forgot me
That big hug!
Hello, Rio de Janeiro
That big hug!
All the brazilian people
That big hug!
