Lyrics:

Saying goodbye to friends

Saying goodbye to lonelyness.
I am on my way to Rio
the place where I wanna be.
You know that I soon will leave
so don't try to make me stay.
I'm on my way to Rio
I'm coming back some day.
Don't you ask me why
got to live a little longer

Don't you start to cry
got to be a little stronger.
Don't you ask me why
got to live a little longer
. . .
Rio de Janeiro - Rio

Land of sun
samba and wine -
Rio de Janeiro - Rio
I feel fine.
Do you believe in love? Do you believe in happyness?
Come with me to Rio
the place where I wanna be.
Dancing the night away
no time for tears and sorrow.
I'm going there tomorrow
I'm coming back someday.
Don't you ask me why
got to live a little longer
. . .
Rio de Janeiro - Rio
. . .
Rio de Janeiro - Rio
. . .
