Bossa Nova 風格: 柔和、浪漫的新型態音樂(直譯為new way)....直到現今都還是受歡迎常被模仿的節奏, 而THE GIRL FROM IPANEMA這首便是Bossa Nova 紅遍大街小巷的國歌

(葡萄牙語歌詞) | (英語意譯) |
| Olha que coisa mais linda Mais cheia de graca E ela menina Que vem e que passa Num doce balanco Caminho do mar | Look at this thing, most lovely most graceful It's her, the girl that comes, that passes with a sweet swinging walking to the sea |
| Moca do corpo dourado Do sol de Ipanema O seu balancado e mais que um poema E a coisa mais linda Que eu ja vi passar | Girl of the golden body from the sun of Ipanema Your swaying is more than a poem It's a thing more beautiful than I have ever seen pass by |
| Ahh, porque estou tao sozinho Ahh, porque tudo e tao triste Ahh, a beleza que existe A beleza que nao e so minha Que tambem passa sozinha | Ah, why am I so alone Ah, why is everything so sad The beauty that exists The beauty that is not mine alone that also passes by on its own |
| Ahh, se ela soubesse Que quando ela passa O mundo inteirinho Se enche de graca E fica mais lindo Por causa do amor | Ah, if she only knew that when she passes the world smiles fills itself with grace and remains more beautiful because of love |
Tall and tan, young and lovely When she walks she's like a samba Oh, but I watch her so sadly Tall and tan, young and lovely Oh, but I watch her so sadly Tall, tan, young, lovely | |

The first commercial recording was in 1962, by Pery Ribeiro. The version performed by Astrud Gilberto, along with Joao Gilberto and Stan Getz, from the 1964 album Getz/Gilberto, became an international hit, reaching number five in the United States pop chart, number 29 in the United Kingdom, and charting highly throughout the world. Numerous recordings have been used in films, sometimes as an elevator music cliche (for example, near the end of The Blues Brothers). In 2004, it was one of 50 recordings chosen that year by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry.
