Garota De Ipanema
Stan Getz Joao Gilberto Antonio Carlos Jobim 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
“Girl from Ipanema” is a beautiful love song by Astrud Gilberto with Joao Gilberto and Stan Getz. The lyrics of the song are simple yet profound, describing a beautiful girl from the Ipanema beach in Rio de Janeiro. The first stanza sets the tone describing the girl's physical beauty and the effect of her walking on the people around her.
The lyrics take a turn in the last stanza when the singer reveals his love for the girl. He watches her every day but is unable to express his feelings. The melancholic tone of the song is captured in the line, “How can I tell her I love her? Yes, I would give my heart gladly.” The song ends with the resolution of unrequited love, the singer acknowledging that the girl will never even glance his 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"

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

And when she passes, he smiles but she
Doesn't see.

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
