Tall and tan and young and lovely
And when she passes
He smiles but she doesn't see
But each day when she walks to the sea
And when she passes, he smiles but she doesn't see
When she walks she's like a samba
Tall and tan and young and lonely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
How can he tell her he loves her
She looks straight ahead not at he
Tall and tan and young and lovely
But each day when she walks to the sea
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
Each one she passes goes ah
She just doesn't see, no she does not see
Yes he would give his heart gladly
That when she passes
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
Each one she passes goes ah
That swings so cool and sways so gently
Yes he would give his heart gladly
She looks straight ahead not at he
And when she passes
How can he tell her he loves her
But she does not see, she does not see
Oh but he sees her so sadly
Oh but he watch her so sadly
