Lyrics

On this Christmas eve in Rio de Janeiro
I was dancing in the sudden summer rain
Overflown with the Brazilian saudade
The happy grief and the playful joyous pain
A never ending yearning for your one and only love
Though she’s right there with you. Right there in your arms
Oh a Christmas eve in Rio de Janeiro
Underneath the Ipanema stars
And that Christmas night in Rio de Janeiro
I was doing what the cariocas do
To the rhythm of cavaquinhos and pandeiros
I drank and sang and danced the whole night through
Then as the sun was rising I climbed up the Corcovado hill
I had a rendezvous with Christ to end the night
Oh a Christmas Eve in Rio to remember
I will cherish it for all my natural life
Right there and then I fell in love with Rio
And She’ll stay forever in my heart and on my mind
Written by: Martin Landstrom, Niklas Gabrielsson Lind
