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