Rio 42

If war is declared
On a Sunday during carnival
You'll see that a son doesn't shy away from the fight
Brazil, draft
Your people

If the land is threatened
To end in a salt explosion
Enlist, my buddy
We're gonna save our carnival

There will be a bombardino battle
Colombina at the Red Cross
There will be sparks in the drumming
Barrage of tambourine

The flapper firing away
The master of ceremonies bowing to Europe
The general's troop from the band
Dancing samba in Berlin

If war is declared
The guys win with honor
Enlist, my buddy
We're gonna save our carnival
