Tall and tan and young and handsome
The boy from Ipanema goes walking
When he passes each one he passes ah
When he walks he's like a samba that
Swings so cool and sway so gently that
When he passes each one he passes
Oh but I watch he was so shyly
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
When he passes I smile
He doesn't see
Oh I watch him so shyly
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
Tan and young and
The handsome boy from Ipanema goes walking
And when he passes I smile
He doesn't see
He doesn't see
He doesn't see
He doesn't see me
