Garota De Ipanema
João Gilberto/Stan Getz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, each one she passes
Goes "A-a-a-h"
When she walks she's like a samba
When she walks, she's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gentle
That when she passes, each one she passes
Oh, but I watch her so sadly
How can I tell her I love her
Yes, I would give my heart gladly
But each day as she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at me
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, I smile, but she
Doesn't see. She just doesn't see
No, she just doesn't
The lyrics of "Garôta de Ipanema" express the admiration and longing of the singer for a beautiful girl from Ipanema, a neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro known for its beaches and nightlife. The song describes the girl as "the most beautiful thing, full of grace," with a body bronzed by the sun and a swaying walk that is like a poem. The girl's beauty is so captivating that the singer feels a profound sense of loneliness and sadness when she passes by, because he knows that she is not his alone, but a fleeting presence in the world.

Translation of the Portuguese verses:
Look at this most wonderful thing,
Full of elegance,
It's her, the girl that comes and goes,
In a sweet swing, on her way to the sea.
Lady of the golden body from the sun of Ipanema,
Her swing is more than a poem,
It is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen pass by.
Oh, why am I so lonely?
Oh, why is everything so sad?
Oh, the beauty that there is,
A beauty that isn't mine,
That also passes through all alone.
Oh, if she only knew
That when she passes by
The world smiling becomes full of grace
And more beautiful because of love...

Olha que coisa mais linda
Mais cheia de graça
É ela a 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 sózinho?
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

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!"

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
