Tall and tan, 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 he watchs her so sadly
How can he tells 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, 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
Oh, she doesn't see
But she doesn't see
She doesn't see
Oh, she doesn't see
