Garota De Ipanema
João Gilberto Stan Getz & Astrud Gilberto Lyrics

Olha que coisa mais linda,
Just look at this most beautiful thing,

Mais cheia de graça
So graceful and filled with grace,

É ela menina
That girl, there she is,

Que vem que passa
Walking by with a sweet swaying,

Num doce balanço
Swaying so sweetly,

Caminho do mar
Heading towards the sea.

Moça do corpo dourado
That young lady with a body like gold,

Do sol de Ipanema
Bathed in the Ipanema sun,

O seu balançado
Her swaying and movement,

É mais que um poema
It's like a work of art,

É a coisa mais linda
The most beautiful sight I've ever seen,

Que eu já vi passar
Walking right in front of me.

Ah, porque estou tão sozinho
But why am I so alone,

Ah, porque tudo e tão triste
Feeling as if everything is so sad,

Ah, a beleza que existe
Oh, the beauty that exists,

A beleza que não é só minha
Beauty that doesn't belong only to me,

Que também passa sozinha
But beauty that also walks alone.

Ah, se ela soubesse
Ah, if only she knew,

Que quando ela passa
When she walks by,

O mundo sorrindo
The world lights up,

Se enche de graça
Filled with grace and joy,

E fica mais lindo
And becomes more beautiful,

Por causa do amor
All because of love.

Tall and tan
Here she comes – tall, tan,

And young and lovely
Young, and lovely,

The girl from Ipanema
She's the girl from Ipanema,

Goes walking
She walks by,

And when she passes
And when she walks past,

Each one she passes
Everyone she passes,

Goes ahhh
Goes silent and adoring.

When she walks
As she's walking,

She's like a samba
She moves like a samba,

That swings so cool
So unconcerned, so cool and collected,

And sways so gently
Swaying so gently,

That when she passes
And when she walks past,

Each one she passes
Everyone she passes,

Goes ahhh
Goes silent and adoring.

Oh, but he watches so sadly
But he looks on so sadly,

How can he tell her he loves her
How could he possibly express his love?

Yes, he would give his heart gladly
He'd give everything he had to her,

But each day when she walks to the sea
But each day as she heads towards the sea,

She looks straight ahead not at he
She looks straight ahead and not at him.

The girl from Ipanema
The girl from Ipanema,

Goes walking
Walking, just walking,

And when she passes
And when she walks past,

He smiles but she doesn't see
He'll smile, but she'll never see.

She just doesn't see
She'll never see his heart, his love, his devotion.
