Tall and tan

And young and lovely

The girl from Ipanema

Goes walking

And when she passes

Each one she passes goes

Oooh

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

Oooh

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

(Ooh)

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

And when she passes

I smile

But she doesn't see

She doesn't see
