Aquele Abraço

Rio de Janeiro still looks beautiful
Rio de Janeiro still is
Rio de Janeiro, February and March

Hey, hey, Realengo
That hug!
Hey, Flamengo fans
That hug!

Chacrinha's still around
Shaking his belly
And honking at the ladies
And leading the crowd
And still giving
Orders in the yard

Hey, hey, Mr. Chacrinha
Old warrior
Hey, hey, Terezinha
Rio de Janeiro
Hey, hey, Mr. Chacrinha
Old clown
Hey, hey, Terezinha
That hug!

Hey, girl from the favela
That hug!
Everyone from Portela
That hug!
Every February
That step!
Hey, Ipanema band
That hug!

My path through the world
I carve it myself
Bahia already gave me
Ruler and compass
Only I know me
That hug!
For you who forgot me
That hug!
Hey, Rio de Janeiro
That hug!
All the Brazilian people
That hug!
