Girl from Ipanema, The lyrics

Frank Sinatra

Writer(s): Jobim/Gimbel/DeMoraes

(Sinatra
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 gentle
That when she passes, each one she passes goes - ooh

(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 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 (doesn't see)

(Tom Jobim

Olha que coisa mais linda mais cheia de graça
É ela menina que vem e que passa
Num doce balanço a caminho do mar...

Moça do corpo dourado do sol de Ipanema
O seu balançado parece um poema
É a coisa mais linda que eu já vi passar...

(Sinatra
Ooh) But I watch her so sadly
(Tom Jobim
(Ahh) porque tudo é tão triste
(Sinatra
Yes I would give my 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

(Tom Jobim
Por causa do Amor
(Sinatra
She just doesn't see
(Tom Jobim
Nem olha para mim
(Sinatra
She never sees me
(Tom Jobim
Por causa do Amor...
