Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, each one she passes goes
"A-a-ah!"
When she walks she's like a samba that
Swings so cool and sways so gently,
That when she passes, each one she passes goes
"A-a-ah!"
Oh, but he watches her 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 him
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
He smiles, but she doesn't see
Oh, but he sees her 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 him
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes...
