lyrics

MEU RIO
Itaiguara/Naná Brandao

Eu voltei, voltei pra ficar
Esquecer o que deixei pra trás
Rever todos que amei e com quem vivi
Vamos recomeçar do ponto em que parti
Meu Rio, Meu Rio

Enfim pra viver eu tenho seu calor
O mar, o céu, no morro o Redentor
Jardins pelo litoral, vento, areia e sal
És por assim dizer cidade maravilha...

Leblon, Copa, Ipanema, São Conrado
Carnaval, Futebol, Mar, Luar e Sol, só no Rio
Batucada, Alegria, Surdo e Violão

Tentei, mesmo assim não pude te esquecer
Jurei voltar, logo pra te ver
Meu coração samba sem querer, o que é que eu vou fazer?
Eu sonho com você cidade maravilha...

Leblon, Barra, Copacabana, São Conrado
Carnaval, Futebol, Mar, Luar e Sol, só no Rio
Batucada, Alegria, Surdo, Violão, um Tan-Tan e um Pandeiro (só no Rio de Janeiro)

Eu vim pra te dizer que estou de volta
