[Verse]

Golden sands stretch under my feet

Waves hum a rhythm soft and sweet

The sun paints stories on the sea

The breeze whispers secrets in my ear

Every moment feels so near

Life unfolds no rush

Just free

[Chorus]

Oh Ipanema you hold the day

In your laughter the ocean's sway

Oh Ipanema where hearts will stay

Forever golden forever play

[Verse 2]

Bars and voices spill to the night

Lanterns glowing a tender light

Steps on cobblestones feel alive

The salt in the air the wine on my tongue

The Carioca way forever young

Time bends here dreams arrive

[Chorus]

Oh Ipanema you hold the day

In your laughter the ocean's sway

Oh Ipanema where hearts will stay

Forever golden forever play

[Chorus]

Oh Ipanema you hold the day

In your laughter the ocean's sway

Oh Ipanema where hearts will stay

Forever golden forever play

[Chorus]

Oh Ipanema you hold the day

In your laughter the ocean's sway

Oh Ipanema where hearts will stay

Forever golden forever play
