Garota de Copacabana

I have a small, beautiful
Who lives in Copacabana
And likes to walk in style
And every week
She comes, in a well-aligned dress
With a pleated full skirt

When she passes by
Everyone is amazed
I even feel embarrassed
Because she's so good
She looks like the boss
And I'm the employee
I'm going to stir up my gossip

My friend
Came running to warn me
The strawberry seller come here
That little girl
You're dating
You need to be careful
Trust me, don't take it the wrong way

Because she's one of those
Who dates but doesn't want to marry
She just wants to dress up
Everything she has
Didn't cost her a penny
Her boyfriend is the one who gives
And if he doesn't, she tells him to go away

I told him
She won't dress up with me
She'll just mess up

She's deluded to see me on the avenue
All dressed up
Looking like a congressman

She's thinking
That I'm cool
Always well-dressed
She's going to make a wrong move
Because she doesn't know
That this suit belongs to a friend
That I borrowed
Because mine is hanging
There at Largo do Machado
