[Verse 1]
Tall and tan and young and lovely
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
Sways so cool and swings so gently
That when he passes, each one he passes goes "ah!"

[Chorus]
Oh, 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

[Verse 2]
Tall and tan and young and handsome
The boy from Ipanema goes walking
And when he passes I smile
But he doesn't see

[Verse 3]
Olha que coisa mais linda, mais cheia de graça
É ela a menina que vem e que passa
Num doce balanço a caminho do mar
Moça do corpo dourado do sol de Ipanema
O seu balançado é mais que um poema
É a coisa mais linda que eu já vi passar
[Chorus]
Oh, 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

[Verse 4]
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The boy from Ipanema goes walking
And when he passes I smile
But he doesn't see

[Outro]
He just doesn't see
He never sees me
Por causa do amor
