Tall and tan

And young and lovely

The girl from ipanema

Goes walking

And when she passes

Each one she passes goes ah

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 ah

Ooh but he watch

Her so sadly

How can he tell her

He love her

Yes he would give

His heart gladly

But each day

When she walks to the sea

She looks straight

Ahead not at me

Ooh but he see

Her so sadly

How can he tell her

He love her

Yes he would give

His 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

When she passes

She smile

But she doesn't see

She just doesn't see

She doesn't see

'coz she doesn't see
