Rio Nights & Sunlit Days

Carla & Paul aka Butterfly Division

Golden sun, it paints the sky,
Waves are crashing, people fly,
Footsteps dancing in the sand,
Caipirinhas in my hand.

And the rhythm calls my name,
From Ipanema to the bay,
Swaying bodies, love in flames,
Rio’s got me lost again.

Under the moonlight, neon glow,
We move like samba, lose control,
From Lapa’s clubs to ocean breeze,
Rio nights will set you free.

Barefoot running through the tide,
Drums are beating deep inside,
Sun-kissed laughter, hearts ignite,
Falling fast into the night.

And the rhythm calls my name,
From Ipanema to the bay,
Swaying bodies, love in flames,
Rio’s got me lost again.
Under the moonlight, neon glow,
We move like samba, lose control,
From Lapa’s clubs to ocean breeze,
Rio nights will set you free.

Carnaval dreams, they never fade,
Fireworks dance across the bay,
Lost in the rhythm, lost in the heat,
Rio, you got all of me.

So let the sun rise, take my hand,
One more dance in golden sand,
Rio’s heartbeat, wild and free,
Forever calling back to me.
