Rio

River
River that lives in the sea
I smile at my River
That has in its sea
Beautiful flowers that are born dark-skinned
In gardens of sun
River, velvet mountains
I smile at my River
That smiles at everything
That is golden almost every day
And cheerful like the light
River is sea, eternally to be loved
My River is moon
White and naked friend
It's sun, it's salt, it's south
Hands discovering each other in all blue
That's why my River of womanly beauty
Ends any sadness in an instant
My River that never sleeps because it never tires
My River that sways
I am River, I smile
I am River, I smile
I am River, I smile
I am River, I smile
I am River, I smile
