Look what a beautiful thingOlha que coisa mais linda

It's her, the girl who comes and goesÉ ela a menina que vem e que passa
Her sweet swing on the way to the seaSeu doce balanço a caminho do mar

Her swaying is more than a poemO seu balançado é mais que um poema
It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen pass byÉ a coisa mais linda que eu já vi passar

Ah, why am I so lonely?Ah, por que estou tão sozinho?
Ah, why is everything so sad?Ah, por que tudo é tão triste?

That also passes aloneQue também passa sozinha

Ah, if she only knewAh, se ela soubesse
