Rio de Janeiro,
Barco brasileiro
Passo no compasso de dois mil
Gema carioca,
Quem vive aqui não troca,
Esse Rio tem a cara do Brasil.
Rio de Janeiro,
Santo padroeiro
Baixou no terreiro da canção.
Catedral do samba,
Futebol de bamba,
Alegria explodiu no coração.
Nosso calendário é virtual.
Todo dia sempre é carnaval.
Não tem quarta-feira
Mas ninguém marca bobeira.
Tem que ter din-din pra ‘ta legal
Rio de janeiro
É pro mundo inteiro
Capital da América do Sul.
Terra de atletas,
Músicos, poetas,
Foi aqui que Deus pintou o mar de azul.
Foi aqui que Deus pintou o mar e o céu de azul.
Rio de Janeiro
