Tall and tan and young and lovely

The girl from Ipanema goes walking

And when she passes

Each one 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 one she passes goes hmm

Ohh, 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, tan, young, lovely

The girl from Ipanema goes walking

And when she passes

I smile but she doesn't see

Ohh, 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 lonely

The girl from Ipanema goes walking

And when she passes

I smile but she doesn't see, she ain't lookin' at me

It ain't me that she sees

She keeps walkin' and swingin', on the beach you see

But she's walkin' down the beach

She swings like a samba
