The Boy from Ipanema Songtext
von Sarah Vaughan

Tall an′ tan an' young an′ handsome
The boy from Ipanema goes walking
And when he passes, each one he passes goes, "ah-ah-ah"

When he walks he's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gentle
That when he passes, each one he passes goes, "woah-woah!"

Ooh, 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


But, oh, he's tall an′ tan an′ young an' handsome
The boy from Ipanema goes walking
And when he passes, I smile but he doesn′t see

Oh, but I watch him so sadly
How can I tell him I love him?
Yes, yes, I would give my heart gladly
But each day when he walks to the sea
He looks straight ahead not at me

Oh, he's so tall an′ tan an' young an′ handsome
The boy from Ipanema goes walking
And when he passes, I smile but he doesn't see
He just doesn't see
He′s not for me
Oh, the girl by the sea, he just didn′t see me
