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 gently

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

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 smiles but she doesn't see

She just doesn't see

No she doesn't see

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 lonely

The girl from Ipanema goes walking

And when she passes

I smile but she doesn't see

She just doesn't see no she doesn't see

No she doesn't see
