Tall and tan and young
And handsome, the boy from Ipanema goes walking
And when he passes, each girl he passes goes a-a-h!

When he walks he's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gentle
And when he passes, each girl he passes goes a-a-h!

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 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

Ah, porque estou tão sozinha
Ah, porque tudo e tão triste
Ah, a beleza que existe
A beleza que não é só minha
Que também passa sozinha

Tall and tan and young
And handsome, the boy from Ipanema goes walking
And when he passes I smile, but he doesn't see
Doesn't see
He doesn't see
He doesn't see
He doesn't see
