- "Garota de Ipanema" (The Girl from Ipanema) is a well-known Brazilian bossa nova song, a worldwide hit in the mid-1960s that won a Grammy for Record of the Year in 1965. It was written in 1962, with music by Antônio Carlos Jobim and Portuguese lyrics by Vinicius de Moraes. English lyrics were written later by Norman Gimbel.
The first commercial recording was in 1962, by Pery Ribeiro. The 1964 single performed by Astrud Gilberto and Stan Getz, shortened from the version on the 1963 album Getz/Gilberto (which also included the Portuguese lyrics sung by Joao Gilberto), became an international hit. In the US, it peaked at number five on the Hot 100, and went to number one for two weeks on the Easy Listening chart. Overseas it peaked at number 29 in the United Kingdom, and charted highly throughout the world. Numerous recordings have been used in films, sometimes as an elevator music cliché. It is believed to be the second most recorded pop song in history, after "Yesterday" by The Beatles. The song was inducted into the Latin Grammy Hall of Fame in 2001. In 2004, it was one of 50 recordings chosen that year by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry. In 2009, the song was voted by the Brazilian edition of Rolling Stone as the 27th greatest Brazilian song.
During a recording session in New York with João Gilberto, Antonio Carlos Jobim and Stan Getz, the idea of cutting an English-language version came up. João's wife, Astrud Gilberto, was the only one of the Brazilians who could speak English well and was chosen to sing. Her voice, without trained singer mannerisms, proved a perfect fit for the song.
The song was inspired by Heloísa Eneida Menezes Paes Pinto (now Helô Pinheiro), a nineteen-year-old girl living on Montenegro Street in the fashionable Ipanema district in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Daily, she would stroll past the popular Veloso bar-café, not just to the beach ("each day when she walks to the sea"), but in the everyday course of her life. She would sometimes enter the bar to buy cigarettes for her mother and leave to the sound of wolf-whistles. In the winter of 1962, the composers watched the girl pass by the bar, and it is easy to imagine why they noticed her-Helô was a 173-cm (five-foot eight-inch) brunette, and she attracted the attention of many of the bar patrons. Since the song became popular, she has become a celebrity.
Sarah's accompanied by Bob James (piano), Herbie Mickman (bass), Omar Clay (drums) Recorded live in Sweden, 1967.
Tall an' tan an' young an' handsome
The boy from Ipanema goes walking
And when he passes, each one he passes goes, aah!
When he walks he's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gentle
That when he passes, each one he passes goes, aah!
Ooh, but I watch him so sadly how can I tell him I love him
Yes, I would give my heart gladly
But each day when he walks to the sea
He looks straight ahead not at me
Ooh and he's tall, and he's tan,
And he's young, and he's handsome
The boy from Ipanema goes walking
And when he passes, he smiles but he doesn't see
Ooh, but I watch him so sadly how can I tell him I love him
Yes, yes, yes, I would give my heart gladly
But each day when he walks to the sea
He looks straight ahead not at me
Ooh, tall an' tan an' young an' handsome
The boyl from Ipanema goes walking
And when he passes, he smile but he doesn't see
He just doesn't see, he just doesn't see
He just doesn't see, he just doesn't see
He just doesn't see - Hudba
One of my favorite Singers.
