And when she passes
Yes, he would give his heart gladly
Yes, he would give his heart gladly
He smiles, but she doesn't see
That swings so cool and sways so gently
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
Ah, por que estou tao sozinho?
Tall, and tan, and young, and lovely
Tall, and tan, and young, and lovely
And when she passes
She looks straight ahead not at him
But each day when she walks to the sea
That when she passes
She just doesn't see, no, she doesn't see
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
Ea coisa mais linda que eu ja vi passar
Oh, but he sees her so sadly
Ah, por que tudo e tao triste?
And when she passes
But she doesn't see, she doesn't see
A beleza que nao e so minha
How can he tell her he loves her
Moca do corpo dourado do sol de Ipanema
Que tambem passa sozinha
But each day, when she walks to the sea
Ah, se ela soubesse
O seu balancado emais que um poema
How can he tell her he loves her
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
Ah, a beleza que existe
Ooh, but he watches so sadly
E ela a menina que vem e que passa
Que, quando ela passa
He smiles, but she doesn't see
Each one she passes goes, "Ah"
When she walks, she's like a samba
Num doce balanco a caminho do mar
Tall and tan and young and lovely
O mundo inteirinho se enche de graca
Each one she passes goes, "Ah"
She looks straight ahead, not at him
E fica mais lindo por causa do amor
