- Mde kwaye mnyama kwaye mncinci kwaye uyathandeka
Intombazana yaseIpanema iyahamba
Kwaye xa idlula, nganye iyadlula iya-ah
Xa ehamba, ufana nesamba
Oko kujika kupholile kwaye kujika kube mnene
Ukuba xa kudlula, nganye ayigqithayo iya-ah
(Ooh) Kodwa umjonge kalusizi
Angamxelela njani ukuba uyamthanda
Ewe ndingayinika intliziyo yam ngovuyo
Kodwa yonke imihla, ukuba uya elwandle
Ujonge ngqo phambili, hayi kuye
Mde, (kwaye) mnyama, (kwaye) mncinci, (kwaye) uyathandeka
Intombazana yaseIpanema iyahamba
Kwaye xa edlula, uyancuma - kodwa akaboni
(Awuboni)
(Akaboni nje, akazange ambone)
Dlala Intombazana evela kwiIpanema ayinakufumana nto. Isenokuqulatha amakhonkco obulungu
