Copacabana cheia
Full Copacabana
Bom é domingo mesmo
It's really Sunday
Dias de sol vem alegrar o nosso amor
Sunny days brighten our love
Mar azul, onda azul
Blue sea, blue wave
Vem beijar meus amores
Come kiss my loves
Copacabana bela
Beautiful Copacabana
Lua de luz acesa
Moon of burning light
Ando calçada cheia sem pensar
I walk the crowded pavement, lost in thought
Ai, rio até sozinha
Oh, river, even when alone
Da beleza do meu Rio
Of the beauty of my Rio
Da TV Rio até o Forte
From TV Rio to the Fort
Gente que passa sem ter norte
People passing by without a direction
Copacabana, eu vou sonhar junto de ti
Copacabana, I will dream alongside you
Copacabana bela
Beautiful Copacabana
Lua de luz acesa
Moon with a bright glow
Ando calçada cheia sem pensar
Walking down the street, lost in thought
Ai, rio até sozinha
Oh, river, even when I'm alone
Da beleza do meu Rio
Of the beauty of my Rio
Da TV Rio até o Forte
From TV Rio to the Fort
Gente que passa sem ter norte
People passing by without a direction
Copacabana, eu vou sonhar junto de ti
Copacabana, I will dream alongside you
