Tall and tan and young and lovely

The girl from ipanema goes walking

And when she passes each one she passes goes

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

But I watch her so sadly

How can I tell her I loves 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 she doesn't see

Oh she doesn't see

All right

But I watch her so sadly

How can I tell her I loves her

Yes oh yes I would give my heart gladly

But each day when she walks to the sea

She looks straight ahead not at he

Tall and tan and young and lovely

The girl from ipanema goes walking

And when she passes I smile she doesn't see

She doesn't see

Well she never sees him
