Here are the full English lyrics to "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 - "aah!"
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
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
She just doesn't see
No, she doesn't see
