The Boy from Ipanema Songtext
von Shirley Horn

Tall and tan and young and handsome
The boy from Ipanema goes walking
And when he passes, each girl he passes goes "bahah"
When he walks, it′s like a samba
He swings so cool and sways so gently
That when he passes, each girl he passes goes "hm"

Oh, 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

Hmm...
Oh, I watch him so sadly
How can I tell him I love him
Yes, I would give my heart gladly
But each day that 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

He doesn't see me, he doesn't see me
He doesn′t see me
He ain′t looking my way
