Coisa Mais Linda
Astrud Gilberto & Joao Gilberto feat. Stan Getz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Coisa mais bonita é você, assim,
Justinho você
E eu juro, eu não sei por que você
Você é mais bonita que a flor
Quem dera, a primavera da flor
Tivesse todo esse aroma de beleza que é o amor
Perfumando a natureza, numa forma de mulher
Porque tão linda assim não existe, a flor
Nem mesmo a cor não existe
E o amor, nem mesmo o amor existe

Porque tão linda assim não existe, a flor




Nem mesmo a cor não existe
E o amor, nem mesmo o amor existe

Olha que coisa mais linda
Mais cheia de graça
É ela menina, que vem e que passa
Num doce balanço, a caminho do mar
Moça do corpo dourado
Do sol de Ipanema
O seu balançado
É mais que um poema
É a coisa mais linda
Que eu já vi passar
Ah, por que estou tão sozinho?
Ah, por que tudo é tão triste?
Ah, a beleza que existe
A beleza que não é só minha
Que também passa sozinha
Ah, se ela soubesse
Que quando ela passa
O mundo sorrindo
Se enche de graça
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 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
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
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
No she doesn’t see
But she doesn’t see

She doesn't see
Oh, she doesn't see

She was the real star of the song, no doubt about it.

My 17 year old daughter was just humming this amazingly beautiful tune. I looked at her and asked if she knew the song. She did not. Well, she does now! And we are dancing around our kitchen listening together. What a wonderful bonding moment. Peace and Love be with us all...
