Artist/Band: Frank Sinatra
Lyrics for Song: Girl From Ipanema
Lyrics for Album: Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim [2000]



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 - ooh

(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)

(She just doesn't see, she never sees me,...)



Olha que coisa mais linda, mas cheia de graça

Ela ĂŠ a menina que vem e que passa

Num doce balança a caminho do mar

Moça do corpo dourado do sol del Ipanema

O seu balançado parece um poema

É a coisa mais linda que eu já vi passar



(Ooh) But I watch her so sadly

(Aah) Por que tudo ĂŠ tĂŁo triste?

Yes I would give my heart gladly,

But each day, when she walks to the sea

She looks straight ahead, not at me

Tall, tan, young, lovely, the girl from Ipanema goes walking

And when she passes, I smile - but she doesn't see (doesn't see)

(She just doesn't see, she never sees me,...)



Por causa do amor...

She just doesn't see...

Nem olha para mim...

She never sees me...

Por causa do amor...
