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
à 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
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Girl From Ipanema Goes To Greenland

acutally the girl from ipanema doesn't dance.. she walks.. and when she walks it's like a samba.. but she never dances..

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"
