Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
Each one she passes goes
When she walks
She's like a samba that swing
So cool and sways so gentle
When she passes
Each one she passes goes
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
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
When she passes
Each smile 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 at me
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
When she passes and smiles she doesn't see
she doesn't see
she doesn't see
she doesn't see
