And I sat alone on a beach by a palm tree
Your silhouette cast a glow on the sand
And there with the sound of the waves and the smell of gardenias
Two lovers sailed on romance to a magical land
Dancing and dancing all night to that blue carioca
Living the wonderful dream that remains
Caught up inside of a blue carioca
Two lovers fly on its lovely refrain
(Ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh) Glide, glide on, carioca
(Ooh-ooh) Glide, glide on out to sea
(Ooh-ooh) Glide, glide on, carioca
(Ooh-ooh) Glide, glide on out to sea
Dancing and dancing all night to that blue carioca
Living the wonderful dream that remains
Caught up inside of a blue carioca
Two lovers fly on its lovely refrain
(Ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh) Glide, glide on, carioca
(Ooh-ooh) Glide, glide on out to sea
(Ooh-ooh) Glide, glide on, carioca
(Ooh-ooh) Glide, glide on out to sea
(Ooh-ooh) Glide, glide on, carioca
(Ooh-ooh) Glide, glide on out to sea
