All the birds of a feather
Do what they love most of all
We are the best at rhythm and laughter
That's why we love Carnaval
All so clear we can sing to
Sun and beaches they call
Dance to the music, passion and love
Show us the best you can do
Everyone here is on fire
Get up and join in the fun
Dance with a stranger, romance and danger
Magic could happen for real, in Rio
All by itself (itself)
You can't see it coming
You can't find it anywhere else (anywhere else)
It's real, in Rio
Know something else (something else)
You can't feel it happening
You can feel it all by yourself
All the birds of a feather
Do what they love most of all
Moon and the stars, strumming guitars
That's why we love Carnaval
Loving our life in the jungle
Everything's wild and free
Never alone, 'cause this is our home
Magic can happen for real, in Rio
All by itself (by itself)
You can't see it coming
You can't find it anywhere else
I'm a Capoeira king-a king-a king-a king-a king-a
Birds like me, 'cause I'm a hot wing-a (Pedro's hot wing-a)
Here everybody loves samba (I like the Samba)
Rhythm you feel in your heart (I'm the Samba master)
Beauty and love, what more could you want
Everything can be for real, in Rio
Here's something else (something else)
You just feel it happening
You won't find it anywhere else
