Stallbaumer Here's how to play "The Girl From Ipanema" on piano!
With this piano sheet music, you can play the famous bossa nova "The Girl From Ipanema" ("Garota de Ipanema").
It's a beautiful piano arrangement of the jazz standard which includes the full melody and chords.
This piano version is not too hard to play, and it sounds fantastic!
This sheet music comes with a seperate system for the singer and the full lyrics.
However, the full melody is included in the piano part, so it sounds great as an instrumental solo version, too!
"The Girl From Ipanema" might be the most famous bossa nova song of all times. The music was composed in 1962 by Antônio Carlos Jobim. The original Portuguese title of the song is "Garota de Ipanema", the lyrics were written by Vinicius de Moraes. The English version of the song was later written by Norman Gimbel.
The song became a huge hit when it was released in the 1960s, won a Grammy award, appeared in countless films (typically as elevator music), and has been recorded by many artists worldwide.
The most famous versions of the song were recorded by Stan Getz and Astrud Gilberto, Frank Sinatra, as well as Ella Fitzgerald and the Supremes.

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
