Tall and tan and young and lovely   The girl from Ipanema goes walking   And when she passes   Each one she passes goes a-a-h!      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 a-a-h!      Ooh but I watch her so sadly   How can I tell her I love her   Yes I would give his heart gladly   But each day when she walks to the sea   She looks straight ahead not at me      Tall and tan and young and lovely   The girl from Ipanema goes walking   And when she passes   I smile but she doesn't see   She never sees me      Ooh 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 ahead not at me      Tall and tan and young and lonely   The girl from Ipanema goes walking   And when she passes   I smile but she doesn't see
