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, aah
Oh, but I watch her so sadly
How can I tell her I love her
Yeah, I would give my heart gladly
But each day when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead not at me
