THE GIRL FROM IPANEMA
(De Moraes/Jobim/Gimbel)

(Performed live during the "Mistaken Identity" tour in Brazil, 1992)

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"

Oh, but he watches her so sadly
How can he tell her he love her?
Yes, he would give his heart gladly
But each day, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at him

Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, he smiles
But she doesn't see
She just doesn't see
She doesn't see him
She doesn't see him

SPANISH TRANSLATION:

LA CHICA DE IPANEMA
(De Moraes/Jobim/Gimbel)

(Interpretada en directo durante la gira "Mistaken Identity", 1991-92)

Alta y bronceada y joven y hermosa
La chica de Ipanema va caminando
Y cuando pasa
Todo el que pasa hace "Ah"

Cuando camina, ella es como una samba
Que se contonea tan bien y se mueve tan suave
Que cuando pasa
Todo el que pasa hace "Ah"

Oh, pero él la mira tan triste
¿Cómo puede decirle que la ama?
Sí, el entregaría su corazón alegremente
Pero cada día, cuando ella camina hacia el mar
Ella mira hacia adelante, no hacia él

Alta y bronceada y joven y hermosa
La chica de Ipanema va caminando
Y cuando pasa, él sonríe
Pero ella no lo ve
Tan sólo no lo ve
Ella no le ve
Ella no le ve
