The Girl From Ipanema

Garota de Ipanema (The Girl From Ipanema)

Look what a beautiful thingOlha que coisa mais linda
So full of graceMais cheia de graça
It's her, the girlÉ ela, a menina
Who comes and goesQue vem e que passa
In a sweet swingNum doce balanço
On the way to the seaCaminho do mar

Girl with a golden bodyMoça do corpo dourado
From the Ipanema sunDo Sol de Ipanema
Her swayingO seu balançado
Is more than a poemÉ mais que um poema
It's the most beautiful thingÉ a coisa mais linda
I've ever seen pass byQue eu já vi passar

Ah, why am I so lonelyAh, porque estou tão sozinho
Ah, why is everything so sadAh, porque tudo é tão triste
Ah, the beauty that existsAh, a beleza que existe
The beauty that is not just mineA beleza que não é só minha
That also passes aloneQue também passa sozinha

Ah, if she only knewAh, se ela soubesse
That when she passes byQue quando ela passa
The whole worldO mundo interinho
Fills with graceSe enche de graça
And becomes more beautifulE fica mais lindo
Because of lovePor causa do amor
Because of lovePor causa do amor

When she walks, she's like a sambaWhen she walks, she's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gentle thatThat swings so cool and sways so gentle that
When she passes, each one she passes goesWhen she passes, each one she passes goes

But I watch her so sadlyBut I watch her so sadly
How can I tell her: I love you?How can I tell her: I love you?
Yes, I would give my heart gladlyYes, I would give my heart gladly
But each day, when she walks to the seaBut each day, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at meShe looks straight ahead, not at me

Tall and tan and young and lovelyTall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking andThe girl from Ipanema goes walking and
When she passes, I smile, but she doesn't see, doesn't seeWhen she passes, I smile, but she doesn't see, doesn't see
