Tall and tan and young and handsome
The boy from Ipanema goes walking
And when he passes each one
He passes go ah ..
When he walks he's like a samba
That swing so cool and sways so gentle
That when he passes each one
He passes go ah ...
Oh .. 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 a head 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
The boy from Ipanema goes walking
And when he passes each one
He passes go ah ..
When he walks he's like a samba
That swing so cool and sways so gentle
That when he passes each one
He passes go ah ...
Oh .. 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 a head 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
