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

Hear the Angels Sing

?God sent the angels from heaven down to earth to proclaim the message of His son?s birth?

*It came upon the midnight clear

That glorious song of old

From angels bending near the earth

To touch their harps of god

Peace on the earth, good will to men

From heaven?s all gracious king

The world in solemn stillness lay

To hear the angels sing

?The angels proclaimed - Come and worship, Christ the newborn King!?

*Angels from the realms of glory

Wing your flight o?er all the earth

You who sang creations story

Now proclaim Messiah?s birth

Come and worship, come and worship

Worship Christ the newborn King

?The angels spread God?s message all around; In the country and in the town. The sight of the angels sent fear in some of the people?

*While shepherds watched their flocks by night

All seated on the ground

The angel of the Lord came down

And glory shown around, and glory shown around

?The angels and all of the people in the area followed a bright star. It shown it?s great light upon a stable. There they found Mary, Joseph and the newborn King?

*Star is shining, in the night sky

Lighting up the stable walls

Baby?s lying in a manger

Where His bed?s a cattle stall

Mary?s rocking, Joseph?s walking

Angels singing, Bells are ringing

For the babe, was born for all.

?You could hear the angels beautiful voices all over the land. Proclaiming songs about His birth?

*Still through the cloven skies they come

With peaceful wings unfurled

And still their heav?nly music floats

O?er all the weary world

Peace on the earth good will to men

From heaven?s all gracious King

The world in solemn stillness lay

To hear the angels sing???.

The author encourages the student to conquer musical difficulties through critical and intelligent analysis rather than mere repetition. These techniques are intended to return the indispensable feeling of creative playing to musical work, having freed the student from consciously focusing on the physical aspects of playing. Musical examples are in standard notation only.
