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
