Vinícius de Moraes
The Girl from Ipanema
[Verse 1]
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' way so sweat and swings so gently
That when she passes
Each one she passes goes a-a-h!
[Chorus]
Ooh 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
[Verse 2]
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes he smiles but she doesn't see
[Chorus]
Ooh 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
[Outro]
Tall and tan and young and lonely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
He smiles but she doesn't see
She just doesn't see
She just doesn't see
She just doesn't see
