Lyrics:

Olha que coisa mais linda
Mais cheia de graa
ela a menina que vem e que passa
num doce balano a caminho do mar
Moa do corpo dourado do sol de Ipanema
O seu balanado mais que um poema
a coisa mais linda que eu j vi passar

Ah, por que estou to szinho?
Ah, por que tudo to triste?
Ah, a beleza que existe
A beleza que no s minha
Que tambm passa sozinha

Ah, se ela soubesse
Que quando ela passa
O mundo sorrindo se enche de graa
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 'ah!'

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 'ah!'

Oh, but he watches her 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 him

Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes he smiles
but she doesn't see
