Paradoxically, although the song is a bossa nova, she dances the samba.

The world is smiling, at least that’s what I did when I was at Ipanema some time ago.

Lyrics

Olha que coisa mais linda

Look, what a most beautiful thing there

mais cheia de graça

moreover full of grace

É ela menina que vem e que passa

and she, this girl that comes and goes

nun doce balanço, caminho do mar …

with this sweet, swinging gait, along the way to the sea. . . .

Moça do corpo dourado, do sol de Ipanema

The girl with this golden body from the Ipanema sun

O seu balançado é mais que un poema

Her swinging gait is more than a poem

é a coisa mais linda que eu já vi passar…

and the most beautiful thing that I ever saw go by

Ah! Porque estou tão sozinho

Ah! why am I so alone?

Ah! Porque tudo é tão triste

Ah! why is everything so sad?

Ah! A beleza que existe

Ah! the beauty that is there!

A beleza que não é só minha

The beauty that is not just mine . . .

que também passa sozinha

that is also passing by alone.

Ah! Se ela soubesse que quando ela passa

Ah! if she only knew that when she passes by

o mundo sorrindo

the world is smiling

se enche de graça

filling up with grace

e fica mais lindo

and turns more beautiful

por causa do amor

because of love

por causa do amor

because of love

por causa do amor

because of love

Of course, the “B-52’s” had their own take on the legendary girl from ipanema:

Girl From Ipanema Goes To Greenland (Lyrics)

CHORUS

Girl from Ipanema, she goes to Greenland

Girl from Ipanema, she goes to Greenland

Witch doctors are screaming

Nymphs are dreaming

This girl’s lost someone

Who is that someone

She’s leaving

CHORUS

Hot latitudes, cool attitudes

She’s leaving

Moon in her mirror

Chasing northern lights

She goes, ahhh

Girl from Ipanema, she goes to Greenland

Remember, wherever you go

There you are

CHORUS

well, I would imagine she would create quite a stir since when she walks it’s like a samba and everyone she passes says “ah”
