Accompanied by his guitar, Nar Cabico sang the English and Tagalog adaptation of "The Girl from Ipanema."

Singer and comedian Nar Cabico is back with another cover of a classic song.

While playing his guitar in the middle of a field, he sang "The Girl from Ipanema."

Nar sang the song in English and in the Tagalog adaptation by poet, writer and editor Pete Lacaba.

He shared the video on his Instagram account.

"Isa sa mga layunin ko ay pagsamahin ang mga Awiting Banyaga at bihisan ito sa sarili nating Wikang Filipino. Sana ay maipaabot ko sa Pilipinas ang sariwang hangin, at malamlam na klima. Mahal ko kayo," he wrote.

"The Girl from Ipanema" first recorded commercially by Brazilian bossa nova and jazz singer Pery Ribeiro but was popularized by musicians Stan Getz and João Gilberto when they recorded it featuring the vocals of Astud Gilberto.

Its music was written by Antônio Carlos Jobim while its original Portuguese lyrics were written by Vinícius de Moraes.
