Girl from Rio
Anitta Lyrics

Hot girls, where I'm from, we don't look like models
Where I come from, beauty is not defined by model-like features.

Tan lines, big curves and the energy glows
The beauty in Rio is defined by curves and a glowing energy, enhanced by sun-kissed tan lines.

You'll be falling in love with the girl from Rio (yeah, yeah, yeah)
The charm and charisma of the girls in Rio make them irresistible to anyone who visits.

Let me tell you about a different Rio (yeah)
Allow me to introduce you to the Rio that most people don't know about.

The one I'm from, but not the one that you know (hey)
The Rio I'm from is vastly different from the one you're familiar with.

The one you meet when you don't have no Real (ay)
The real Rio is experienced when you step outside of the tourist areas and see the true culture of the city.

Baby, it's my love affair, it's my love affair, yeah (hey, hey)
This is my personal love affair with my home city of Rio.

Just found out I have another brother (hey)
I recently discovered that I have a sibling I didn't know about before.

Same daddy, but a different mother (hit it, vai)
We share the same father but have different mothers.

This was something that I always wanted
Discovering the existence of a new sibling is something I had hoped for for a long time.

Oh-whoa, I got it, I got it, I got it, I got it
I know and understand my heritage deeply.

It runs in my blood, oh (hey)
My cultural identity is an intrinsic part of me.

I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it
I am proud of my heritage and love everything that comes with it.

You already know, oh
It's no secret that I am passionate about my culture and identity.

A dime a dozen, I'm lucky, I'm lucky, I'm lucky
I am fortunate to have been born into such a rich and vibrant culture.

It's my love affair, yeah (hit it, vai, vai)
The pride and love I feel for my culture is a personal attachment.

Vai malandra, gringo canta, todo mundo canta (vai, vai, vai, vai, vai) (hey)
Everyone is captivated by the rhythm and energy of Rio; foreigners and locals alike can't help but sing and dance to the music.

Honório Gurgel forever (sou eu)
I am from the Honório Gurgel neighborhood and it will always be a significant part of my identity.

Babies having babies like it doesn't matter (ah, é)
In my community, it is far too common for young people to become parents before they are ready.

Yeah the streets have raised me, I'm favela (demais)
I grew up in the favelas and the streets shaped who I am today.

I just had to leave another lover (mais um)
I recently ended a relationship with someone I was seeing.

Yes, he couldn't handle my persona (não fala)
My partner couldn't accept or understand who I am as a person.

'Cause I'm cold like winter, hot like summer (yeah)
I have a complex and multifaceted personality, much like the varied seasons of the year.

Hot girls, where I'm from, we don't look like models
Beauty in Rio comes in many shapes and sizes and cannot be defined by traditional beauty standards.

Vai malandra, gringo canta, todo mundo canta (hey)
The music and energy of Rio captivates everyone, regardless of their background or where they come from.
