[Intro: João Gilberto]
Dim-dum-dum, pling-gung-gung, pling-gung-gung

[Verse 1: Astrud Gilberto]
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!"

[Chorus: Astrud Gilberto]
Oh, but he watch 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 he

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus: Astrud Gilberto]
Oh, but he sees 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 he
[Verse 2: Astrud Gilberto]
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, he smiles
But she doesn't see

[Outro]
She just doesn't see
No, she doesn't see
But she doesn't see
She doesn't see
She doesn't see
