Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, each one she passes goes ahWhen she walks she's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gentle
That when she passes, each one she passes goes ahOh, but he watches so sadly
How can he tell her he loves her?
Yes, he would give his heart gladly
But each day when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at heTall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes he smiles but she doesn't seeOlha que coisa mais linda mais cheia de graa
ela, a menina que vem e que passa
Num doce balano caminho do marMoa do corpo dourado do sol de Ipanema
O seu balanado mais que um poema
a coisa mais linda que eu j vi passarAh, porque estou to sozinho
Ah, porque tudo to triste
Ah, a beleza que existe
A beleza que no s minha
Que tambm passa sozinhaAh, se ela soubesse que quando ela passa
O mundo sorrindo se enche de graa
E fica mais lindo por causa do amorOh, but he watches so sadly
How can he tell her he loves her?
Yes, he would give his heart gladly
But each day when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead not at heAnd tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes he smiles but she doesn't seeShe just doesn't see
No, she doesn't see
But she doesn't see
