[Verse 1]
Landed in the heat
Colors in the air
Glitter on my skin
Feathers everywhere
You grab my hand
Pull me to the street
Heartbeats racing harder than the beat

[Pre-Chorus]
You say
“Just follow”
I’m lost
But I go
Bodies all around us
Moving in slow mo

[Chorus]
Carnival of Brazil
I’ll come and show you how to dance (hey!)
Let the rhythm take you
You don’t even have a chance
It’s in your hips
In your smile
In your veins
When it hits
When it hits
Nothing’s gonna be the same
Carnival of Brazil
I’ll come and show you how to dance (dance!)
You feel the rhythm pull you like a trance
Oh! Wow!
You can’t help it
You just move
When Carnival finds you
You groove

[Verse 2]
Whistles in the dark cutting through the crowd
Banners in the sky
Drums are shaking loud
Spin me in a circle
Sweat across your brow
I can barely breathe
Don’t you stop it now

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m saying “devagar”
You’re laughing “mais
Mais”
Street turns to a parade
Fire in your eyes

[Chorus]
Carnival of Brazil
I’ll come and show you how to dance (hey!)
Let the rhythm take you
You don’t even have a chance
It’s in your hips
In your smile
In your veins
When it hits
When it hits
Nothing’s gonna be the same
Carnival of Brazil
I’ll come and show you how to dance (dance!)
You feel the rhythm pull you like a trance
Oh! wow!
You can’t help it
You just move
When Carnival finds you
You groove

[Bridge]
[Percussion breaks down
Crowd clapping
Distant whistles]
Left foot
Right foot
Lose your name (oh)
Spin once
Spin twice
Feel the flame
You shout my name through the smoke and light
“We’ll sleep later
Not tonight”

[Chorus]
Carnival of Brazil
I’ll come and show you how to dance (hey!)
Let the rhythm take you
You don’t even have a chance
It’s in your hips
In your smile
In your veins
When it hits
When it hits
Nothing’s gonna be the same
Carnival of Brazil
I’ll come and show you how to dance (dance!)
You feel the rhythm pull you like a trance
Oh! Wow!
You can’t help it
You just move
When Carnival finds you
You groove

[Verse 3]
Shoulders rolling
Feet in sand
Strangers turning into friends
You just follow my left hand
Heart syncs up again

Paint and feathers
Sweat and smiles
Drums are talking from a mile
You forget the clock
The miles
Time just fades to dance

[Pre-Chorus]
You say
“Just follow”
I’m lost
But I go
Bodies all around us
Moving in slow mo

[Chorus]
Carnival of Brazil
I’ll come and show you how to dance (hey!)
Let the rhythm take you
You don’t even have a chance
It’s in your hips
In your smile
In your veins
When it hits
When it hits
Nothing’s gonna be the same
Carnival of Brazil
I’ll come and show you how to dance (dance!)
You feel the rhythm pull you like a trance
Oh! Wow!
You can’t help it
You just move
When Carnival finds you
You groove

[Bridge]
Can you feel it rise? (oh!)
From your toes
To your eyes
Every shake
Every slide
You’re alive
You’re alive

[Outro]
Carnival of Brazil
You can’t stand still
Rhythm grabs your hands
Says “come here
Feel”
Let your body spin
Lose your name in the crowd
When the beat breaks in
You gotta dance out loud
