Tall and tan, young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
Each boy she passes goes "aah!"

When she walks she's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gentle
That when she passes
Each boy she passes goes "aah!"

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, young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
I smile but she doesn't see
She doesn't see

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 loos 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
She doesn't see
Oh, she just doesn't see
She doesn't see
She doesn't see
