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 she's so gentle And when she passes, each one, she passes goes "ah!" 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 a head not at me Tall and tan and young and lovely The girl from Ipanema goes walking And when she passes, each one, I smile, but she doesn't see She doesn't see She just doesn't see
