Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Garota De Ipanema by Antônio Carlos Jobim from Portuguese to English.
Olha que coisa mais linda
Look at that most beautiful thing
Mais cheia de graça
So full of grace
É ela menina
It's her, the girl
Que vem e que passa
Who comes and goes
No doce balanço, a caminho do mar
In the sweet sway, on her way to the sea
Moça do corpo dourado
Girl with a golden body
Do sol de Ipanema
From the Ipanema sun
O seu balançado é mais que um poema
Her sway is more than a poem
É a coisa mais linda que eu já vi passar
It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen pass by
porque estou tão sozinho
Why am I so lonely
porque tudo é tão triste
Why is everything so sad
a beleza que existe
The beauty that exists
A beleza que não é só minha
The beauty that is not just mine
Que também passa sozinha
That also passes alone
se ela soubesse
If she only knew
Que quando ela passa
That when she passes by
O mundo inteirinho se enche de graça
The whole world fills with grace
E fica mais lindo
And becomes more beautiful
Por causa do amor
Because of love
