Ja uvijek se osjetim
lose kad dolazi zima
a znam da dole na
jugu jos ljeta ima

I pozelim, draga, odmah
da odemo tamo
da odemo tamo
gdje sunce i more su samo

Svira samba, ludi karneval
cuje se k'o nekada
samo dobra muzika

Sedam dana gori ulica
k'o prvi put zavedi me
da ostanem ubjedi me

Ref.
Rio de Zaneiro, ja i ti
Amerika Juzna, ljubavi
ova strana svijeta prija mi
Rio de Zaneiro, ja i ti

Rio, adio
Rio, adio
