Garota De Ipanema
Stan Getz João Gilberto 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 to Stan Getz Gilberto Jobim's song "Girl from Ipanema" paint a vivid picture of a beautiful young woman walking along the beach in Ipanema, Brazil. The song describes her as "tall and tan and young and lovely" and notes that when she walks, she moves like a samba, with a cool, gentle sway that captures the attention of everyone around her. As she walks by, the people she passes can't help but let out a sigh of admiration.
However, the singer of the song watches her sadly, knowing that he is not the object of her affection. He longs to tell her how much he loves her and would give his heart gladly to win her over, but each day she walks to the sea without looking his way. Despite his sadness, the singer can't help but smile as she walks by, even though she doesn't seem to notice him.
Overall, "Girl from Ipanema" is a tale of unrequited love set against the stunning backdrop of Brazil's coast. It captures both the beauty of the landscape and the pain of longing for someone who doesn't feel the same way.

Olha que coisa mais linda
Mais cheia de graça
É ela menina
Que vem e que passa
Num doce balanço
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

Goes "a-a-a-h"

Faltó poner a Astrud Gilberto, su nombre no aparece una sola vez en este video o descripción y está cantando la mitad de la canción
