Olha que coisa mais linda
Mais cheia de graca 
E ela menina 
Que vem que passa 
Num doce balanco 
Caminho do mar 
Moca do corpo dourado 
Do sol de Ipanema 
O seu balancado 
E mais que um poema 
E a coisa mais linda 
Que eu ja vi passar 
Ah, porque estou tao sozinho 
Ah, porque tudo e tao triste 
Ah, a beleza que existe 
A beleza que nao e so minha 
Que tambem passa sozinha 
Ah, se ela soubesse 
Que quando ela passa 
O mundo sorrindo 
Se enche de graca 
E fica mais lindo 
Por causa do amor 
Tall and tan 
And young and lovely 
The girl from Ipanema 
Goes walking 
And when she passes 
Each one she passes 
Goes ahhh 
When she walks 
She's like a samba 
That swings so cool 
And sways so gently 
That when she passes 
Each one she passes 
Goes ahhh 
Oh, but he watches 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 he 
Tall and tan 
And young and lovely 
The girl from Ipanema 
Goes walking 
And when she passes 
He smiles but she doesn't see
