Tall and tanned and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, each one she passes goes: Da, boo, dee, dee, da
When she walks, it's just like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gentle
That when she passes, each one she passes goes: Da, boo, dee, dee, da
Oh, how I watch her so sadly
How can I tell her I love her?
Yeah, I would give my heart gladly
But each day, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at me
Tall and tanned and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, I go: Dee, dee, dee, doo, dee, dee
The girl, the girl, the girl
From Ipanema, from Ipanema
La, la, la, la, da, da
Oh, how I want her so badly
How, how can I tell her I love her?
Yeah, I would give my heart gladly
But each day, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at me
Tall and tanned and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, I smile, but she doesn't see
She ain't looking at me, ooh
