Girl From Ipanema
Frank Sinatra · Other Songs - Frank Sinatra
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 é 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 é tăo 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...
Girl From Ipanema - Frank Sinatra
Frank Sinatra's rendition of 'Girl From Ipanema' stands as a definitive example of his mastery over bossa nova and the Brazilian jazz revival of the 1960s. Recorded with the iconic rhythm section of Stan Getz and João Gilberto, the track captures the effortless cool and sophisticated swing that characterized Sinatra's later catalog. While Sinatra is best known for his interpretations of American standards, this recording demonstrates his versatility and ability to adapt to global musical influences. The song's melodic structure and Sinatra's smooth vocal delivery created a timeless standard that bridged the gap between traditional jazz and emerging world music, cementing the artist's reputation as a consummate professional who could navigate diverse genres with equal grace.
