Tall and tan and young and lovely
the girl from Ipanema goes walking
and when she passes
each one she passes
goes "Ahhh!"
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 "Ahhh!"
Oh, but he watches her so sadly
How can he tell her he loves her?
Yes, he would give his 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
he smiles
but she doesn't see
[Instrumental]
Oh, but he watches her so sadly
How can he tell her he loves her?
Yes, he would give his 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
he smiles
but she doesn't see
She just doesn't see
No, she doesn't see
She just doesn't see
