THE GIRL FROM IPANEMA

Olha que coisa mais linda
Mais cheia de graça
É ela a menina que vem e que passa
num doce balanço a caminho do mar
Moça do corpo dourado do sol de Ipanema
O seu balançado é mais que um poema
É a coisa mais linda que eu já vi passar

Ah, por que estou tão sózinho?
Ah, por que tudo é tão triste?
Ah, a beleza que existe
A beleza que não é só minha
Que também passa sozinha

Ah, se ela soubesse
Que quando ela passa
O mundo sorrindo se enche de graça
E fica mais lindo por causa do amor

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 sways so gently
That when she passes,
Each one she passes goes "ah!"
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 him
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes he smiles
but she doesn't see
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 him
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes he smiles
but she doesn't see
