Tall and tan and young and handsome
The boy from Ipanema goes walking
And when he passes
Each one he passes goes - ah
When he walks
He's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gentle
And when he passes each one
He passes goes - ah
Ooh, how 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
Tall, and tan, and young and handsome
The boy from Ipanema goes walking
And when he passes, I smile
but he doesn't see
Tall, and tan, and young and handsome
The boy from Ipanema goes walking
And when he passes, I smile
but he doesn't see
Ooh, how 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
Tall, and tan, and young and handsome
The boy from Ipanema goes walking
And when he passes, I smile
but he doesn't see
No, he doesn't see
No no no no no
