Tall and tan and young and lovely The girl from Ipanema goes walking And when she passes, each one she passes goes Ah, when she walks she's like a samba That swings so cool and sways so gentle That when she passes, each one she passes goes Oh, 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 And when she passes, I smile But she doesn't see, doesn't see Look what a beautiful thing, so full of grace She's the girl who comes and goes In a sweet swing on the way to the sea Girl with a golden body, from the sun of Ipanema Her swing looks like a poem It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen But I watch her so sadly Ah, por que tudo é tão triste? Yes, I would give my heart gladly But each day when she walks to the sea She looks straight ahead, not at me Tall, tan, young, lovely The girl from Ipanema goes walking And when she passes, I smile But she doesn't see Por causa do amor She just doesn't see Nem olha pra mim She never sees me Por causa do amor
