Texty: J. J. Cale. Rio.

Rio de Janeiro, hot wind of Brazilian nights
Rio de Janeiro, I tip my sombrero on a tan girl in the moonlight
Their close encounters make a man
Feel just right

Rio de Janeiro, the steamy place that you are
Rio de Janeiro, I've come to love you from afar
To touch the water of your sea
Feel your sensuality, walk your boulevards

Sao Paulo, Brazilia, I've been there before
They make me think of just a girl next door
They don't have your sexual groove
Rio, Rio puts me in that mood

Rio de Janeiro, your sultry rhythms get me up

Rio de Janeiro if I could drink from your cup
I need a shot, your pulse is hot
Rio, Rio you're so corrupt

I'm just a lonely caballero
I'm just a lonely, lonely man
I'm just a lonely caballero
Tryin' to make it to your land

Rio de Janeiro
Rio de Janeiro
To touch the water of your sea
Feel your sensuality, walk your boulevards
