tall and tan and young and lovely
the girl from ipanema goes walking
and when she passes
each one she passes goes a-a-h!
when she walks she's like a samba

she swings so cool and sways so gentle
that when she passes
each one she passes goes a-a-h!
ooh but i watch her so sadly

how can i tell her i love her

yes i would give my heart gladly
but each day when she walks to the sea

she looks straight ahead not art me

tall and tan and young and lovely
the girl from ipanema goes walking
and when she passes
i smile but she doesn't see

ooh but i watch her so sadly
how can i tell her i love her

yes i would give my heart gladly
but each day when she walks to the sea
she looks straight ahead not art me

tall and tan and young and lovely
the girl from ipanema goes walking

and when she passes

i smile but she doesn't see

now she doesn't see
