Copacabana
Joyce Moreno Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Existem praias tão lindas, cheias de luz
Nenhuma tem o encanto que tu possues
Tuas areias, teu céu tão lindo
Tuas sereias, sempre sorrindo

Copacabana princesinha do mar
Pelas manhãs tu és a vida a cantar
E a tardinha o sol poente
Deixa sempre uma saudade
Na gente

Copacabana o mar eterno cantor
Ao te beijar, ficou perdido de amor
E hoje vive a murmurar, só a ti
Copacabana eu hei de amar

Existem praias tão lindas, cheias de luz
Nenhuma tem o encanto que tu possues
Tuas areias, teu céu tão lindo
Tuas sereias, sempre sorrindo

Copacabana princesinha do mar
Pelas manhãs tu és a vida a cantar
E a tardinha o sol poente
Deixa sempre uma saudade
Na gente

Copacabana o mar eterno cantor
Ao te beijar ficou perdido de amor
E hoje vive a murmurar, só a ti
Copacabana eu hei de amar





Existem praias tão lindas, cheias de luz

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Joyce Moreno's song "Copacabana" are a tribute to the beauty and charm of the famous beach in Rio de Janeiro. The song begins by acknowledging the existence of other beautiful beaches filled with light, but none of them possess the unique allure and enchantment of Copacabana. The sand, the sky, and the mermaids, who are always smiling, all contribute to the beach's irresistible appeal.


The chorus celebrates Copacabana as the "little princess of the sea" and "eternal singer of the sea". In the morning, the beach is alive with singing and in the evening, the setting sun leaves behind a melancholy feeling of longing. The sea itself is personified as having fallen in love with Copacabana and only murmurs of her now. The song ends with a declaration that the singer will always love Copacabana.
