Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Tall and tan
And young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema
Goes walking
And when she passes
Each one she passes goes
Ah
[Verse 2]
When she walks
She's like a samba
That swings so cool
And sways so gentle
That when she passes
Each one she passes goes
Ah
[Verse 3]
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 (But each day)
When she walks to the sea (She walks)
She looks straight ahead (She looks straight ahead)
Not at me (Not at me)
[Verse 4]
Tall and tan
And young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema
Goes walking
And when she passes
I smile
But she doesn't see
[Verse 5]
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 (Oh, each day)
When she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead
(She's not looking at me, no)
Not at me
[Verse 6]
Tall and tan
And young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema
Goes walking
When she passes, I smile
But she doesn't see
(Smile though your heart is aching)
And when she passes
I smile but she doesn't see
(Smile even though you're breaking)
She doesn't see
(Smile at me)
She doesn't see
