Aquele Abraço

Rio de Janeiro remains beautiful
Rio de Janeiro continues to be
Rio de Janeiro, February and March
Hello, hello, Realengo - that hug!
Hello, Flamengo fans - that hug!
Chacrinha keeps shaking his belly
And honking at the girl and leading the crowd
And keeps giving orders in the yard
Hello, hello, Mr. Chacrinha - old warrior
Hello, hello, Terezinha, Rio de Janeiro
Hello, hello, Mr. Chacrinha - old clown
Hello, hello, Terezinha - that hug!
Hello, girl from the favela - that hug!
Everyone from Portela - that hug!
Every February - that step!
Hello, Banda de Ipanema - that hug!
I trace my own path in the world
Bahia has already given me a ruler and compass
Who knows about me is me - that hug!
For you who forgot me - that hug!
Hello, Rio de Janeiro - that hug!
All Brazilian people - that hug!
