Tall  and tan and young and lovely,
 the girl  from Impanema goes walking  and
 when she passes each one she passes, goes "Ahh".
When  she walks she's like a samba that
swings  so cool & sways so gentle  that
 when she passes, each one she passes goes, "Ahh!!".
 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 when she walks to the sea,
 
  she looks straight ahead, not at me
Tall  and tan and young and lovely,
 the Girl  from Impanema goes walking  and
 when she passes, I smile, but she doesn't see,
When  she walks she's like a samba that
swings  so cool & sways  so gentle that
 when she passes, each one she passes goes, "Ahh!!".
Oh,  but I watch her so sadly
How...........can  I tell her I love  her?
Yes.....  I would give my heart gladly,
 
 but all day when she walks to the sea,
 
 she looks straight ahead, not at me
Tall  and tan and young and lovely,
 the Girl  from Impanema goes walking  and
 when she passes, I smile, but she doesn't see,
 she just doesn't see  no,
 
 she doesn't see
