The Girl From Ipanema Lyrics
Music by: Antonio Carlos Jobim
Portuguese Lyrics by: Vinicius de Moraes
English Lyrics by: Norman Gimbel
The Girl From Ipanema
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, each one
she passes goes - ah
When she walks, she's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gentle
That when she passes, each one
she passes goes - ah
(Ooh) But I watch her so sadly
How can I tell her I love her
Yes I would give my heart gladly
But each day, when 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
(doesn't see)

A Few Facts Courtesy of Wikipedia
"The Girl from Ipanema" ("Garota de Ipanema") is a well-known bossa nova song, a worldwide hit in the mid-1960s that won a Grammy for Record of the Year in 1965. It was written in 1962, with music by Antonio Carlos Jobim and Portuguese lyrics by Vinicius de Moraes with English lyrics
written later by Norman Gimbel. It was also famously sung and played by Jobim in 1965 on The Andy Williams Show.
The first commercial recording was in 1962, by Pery Ribeiro. The version performed by Astrud Gilberto, along with João Gilberto and Stan Getz, from the 1964 album Getz/Gilberto, became an international hit, reaching #5 in the U.S., #29 in the UK, and charting highly throughout the world. Numerous recordings have been used in movies, sometimes as an elevator music cliché (for example, near the end of The Blues Brothers).
In 2004, it was one of 50 recordings chosen that year by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry.The Full National Recording Registry National Recording Preservation Board. http://www.loc.gov/rr/record/nrpb/nrpb-masterlist.html.
When covered by female artists the song has often been rendered as "The Boy from Ipanema", with gender-specific lyrics.
