Tall and tan
and young and lovely
The girl from lpanema
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 gently
That when she passes
Each one she passes goes
Ah

but he watches so sadly
How can he tell her
he loves her
Yes
he would give
his heart gladly
But each day
that she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead
not at he
Oh
but he watches so sadly
How can he tell her
he loves her
Yes
he would give
his heart gladly
But each day
that she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead
not at he
Tall and tan
and young and lovely
The girl from lpanema
goes walking and
When she passes
He smiles
But she doesn't see
She just doesn't see
She just doesn't see
But she doesn't see
