"Wave" (también conocido como "Vou Te Contar" en portugués) es una canción de bossa nova escrita por Antônio Carlos Jobim. Fue grabada primero como pieza instrumental en su álbum homónimo de 1967. De acuerdo con la biografía de Jobim que escribió Sérgio Cabral, Chico Buarque iba a escribir la letra, pero no la entregó, así que el propio Jobim le puso versos en portugués[1] y en inglés.
