 Tall and tan and young and lovely, the girl
 from Ipanema goes walking, and when
 she passes, each one  she passes goes
 
 
 
 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
 
 
 
 Oh, but I watch her so
 saddly.
 How can I tell her I
 love her?
 Yes, I would give my heart
 gladdly. 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.  : first time through.
 Repeat from beginning.
 ...  see.  She just doesn't : second time through.
   see.  No, she doesn't
