Copacabana de sempre
Roberto Menescal
Always Copacabana
Copacabana, golden beach
Marked by the sun in me
I know your sandy body
I know the bitter mermaids
Wings tied to the feet
Waves of my alligators
Copacabana, cradle of bossa
Things so ours, I'm
Your face became so beautiful
Considering you're much more woman
Come with me to see
Everything I want to say
Even if it's brief
Or if life takes longer
Let's go through these alleys
Corners, bars that I know too well
All of Copacabana that lives in front
Of the deep blue sea
Nothing is more carioca than our Copa
Than your profile
Copacabana, of the whole sea
Of the first sea, well
I confess myself small
Facing your dark body
Facing the South Atlantic, Copacabana
