Lyrics

The stars in the night played a Blue Carioca
The moon shone outside as the planet revolved
The wind was caressed with the fragrance of summer
The night gentle nature impelled us to love
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 through 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
