The Girl From Ipanema

Olha que coisa mais linda,         
(Look at this thing, most lovely)  
mais cheia de graзa         (most graceful)  
Й ela menina
(It's her, the girl)
que vem que passa
(that comes, that passes)
Num doce balanзo
(with a sweet swinging)
caminho do mar
(walking to the sea)  
   
Moзa do corpo dourado
(Girl of the golden body)  
do sol de Ipanema
(from the sun of Ipanema)  
O seu balanзado
(Your swaying)  
й mais que um poema
(is more than a poem)
Й a coisa mais linda
(It's a thing more beautiful)  
que eu jб vi passar
(than I have ever seen pass by)  
   
Ah, porque estou tгo sozinho
(Ah, why am I so alone)  
Ah, porque tudo e tгo triste
(Ah, why is everthing so sad)  
Ah, a beleza que existe
(The beauty that exists)  
A beleza que nгo й sу minha
The beauty that is not mine alone)  
que tambйm passa sozinha
(that also passes by on its own)  
   
Ah, se ela soubesse
(Ah, if she only knew)  
que quando ela passa
(that when she passes)  
O mundo sorrindo
(the world smiles)  
se enche de graзa
(fills itself with grace)  
E fica mais lindo
(and remains more beautiful)  
por causa do amor
(because of love)  


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  
she just doesn't see
