Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mais cheia de graça most graceful
É ela menina It's her, the girl
Que vem que passa that comes, that passes
Num doce balanço with a sweet swinging
Caminho do mar walking to the sea
Moça do corpo dourado Girl of the golden body
O seu balançado Your swaying
É mais que um poema is more than a poem
É a coisa mais linda It's a thing more beautiful
Que eu já vi passar than I have ever seen pass by
Ah, porque estou tão sozinho Ah, why am I so alone
Ah, porque tudo e tão triste Ah, why is everthing so sad
Ah, a beleza que existe The beauty that exists
A beleza que não é só minha The beauty that is not mine alone
Que também 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 graça 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
The song Garota de Ipanema, also known as The Girl from Ipanema, is a classic Brazilian Bossa Nova song that tells the story of a young woman walking down the streets of Ipanema, a neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro. The lyrics describe her beauty and grace, and how she captures the attention of everyone who sees her. Despite watching her every day, the singer is unable to express his love for her and can only admire her from afar.
The song's lyrics are a celebration of Brazilian beauty and culture, and its smooth melody expresses the relaxed and sensual atmosphere of Brazilian music. The song became a hit in Brazil and around the world when it was released in 1962, and it remains an iconic song of the Bossa Nova genre.
One interpretation of the song is that it represents the cultural and social changes happening in Brazil during the 1960s, as the country emerged from years of military dictatorship and began to embrace a new vision of democracy and freedom. The song's focus on the simple pleasures of life, such as the beauty of the natural world and the joy of music and dance, reflects the optimism and joy that swept through Brazil during this period of change.

Que lindo! me fez lembrar dos tempos que trabalhei no Hotel Della Volpe! O Pianista, sempre brincava comigo, na época era chefe do Piano Bar. Ele sempre chegava um pouco antes do horário, e, ficava me olhando desfilar pra lá e pra cá com as bandejas e tocava essa música. Inclusive teve um dia, que estava organizando o Lob e ouvi a música, era muito cedo, estranhei, olhei para o Piano e, para minha surpresa não vi ninguém; o "malandro" estava tocando abaixadinho, escondido! em fim, rimos muito, ótimas recordações! ;)
