Lyrics
Carnaval
© 2013 Bauer/Santolin/Starburst
Happy painted faces
Feathers in the wind
Smiling, laughing
The festival begins
Join and walk with me
Joyous masquerade
Singing from the rafters
World's biggest parade!
(pre-chorus "woohhs")
(chorus)
Come with me to Rio
Carnaval shines bright!
Venha Meu Amigo
Let's dance through the night
A very special place
A joy to be alive
Carnaval in Rio
The fun will multiply!
(Spoken)
Let's go baby!
Are you ready for some fun?
Feel the vibe?
Ok....
Senses now awaken
Floats are passing by
You can feel the magic
Under God's blue sky
Music fills the air
Man these feet don't lie
Samba in the daytime
Party in the sky!
(repeat chorus)
(bridge)
Lets go, people,
Ready for some fun
Peace, happiness and joy
Boys and girls, young and old,
Everybody,
Let's get down and dance till dawn!
(repeat chorus)
