Frank Sinatra Francis Albert Lyrics
1.The Girl From Ipanema

Olha que coisa mais linda, Look at this thing, most lovely
mais cheia de graça most graceful
É ela menina It's her, the girl
que vem que passa that comes, that passes
Num doce balanço with a sweet swinging
caminho do mar walking to the sea

Moça do corpo dourado Girl of the golden body
do sol de Ipanema from the sun of Ipanema
O seu balançado Your swaying
é mais que um poema is more than a poem
É a coisa mais linda It's a thing more beautiful
que eu já vi passar than I have ever seen pass by

Ah, porque estou tão sozinho Ah, why am I so alone
Ah, porque tudo e tão triste Ah, why is everthing so sad
Ah, a beleza que existe The beauty that exists
A beleza que não é só minha The beauty that is not mine alone
que também passa sozinha that also passes by on its own

Ah, se ela soubesse Ah, if she only knew
que quando ela passa that when she passes
O mundo sorrindo the world smiles
se enche de graça fills itself with grace
E fica mais lindo and remains more beautiful
por causa do amor because of love

Tall and tan
and young and lovely
the girl from Ipanema
goes walking
and when she passes
each one she passes
goes ahhh

When she walks
she's like a samba
that swings so cool
and sways so gently
that when she passes
each one she passes
goes ahhh

Oh, but he watches so sadly
How can he tell her he loves her
Yes, he would give his heart gladly
but each day when she walks to the sea
she looks straight ahead not at he

Tall and tan
and young and lovely
the girl from Ipanema
goes walking
and when she passes
he smiles but she doesn't see
she just doesn't see


2.Dindi

Written:Ray Gilbert/Antonio Carlos Jobim
Arranger:Claus Ogerman

Sky, so vast is the sky, with far away clouds just wandering by,
Where do they go? Oh I don't know, don't know;
Wind that speaks to the leaves, telling stories that no one
believes,
Stories of love belong to you and to me.

Oh, Dindi, if I only had words I would say all the beautiful
things that I see when you're with me, Oh my Dindi.
Oh Dindi, like the song of the wind in the trees, that's how my
heart is
singing Dindi, Happy Dindi, When you're with me.

I love you more each day, yes I do, yes I do;
I'd let you go away, if you take me with you.

Don't you know, Dindi, I'd be running and searching for you like
a river
that
can't find the sea, that would be me without you, my Dindi.
can't find the sea that would be me without you Dindi.

Like a river that can't find the sea, that would be me without
you, my
Dindi.

5.Meditation

In--my lone-li-ness
when youre alone and Im all by myself and I need your caress
I-- just think of you
and the thouht of you holding me never
makes my love-li-ness dis-ap-pear
Though--youre far-a way
I have on-ly to close my eyes and you are back- to stay
I --just close my eyes
and the sad-ness that miss-ing you brings
soon is gone-and this heart of mine sings
Yes,----I love-you so----
and that-for me-is--I need to know
I-- will wait- for you
til the sun-falls from out-of the sky-for what else can I do
I-- will wait- for you
ma-di-ta-ting how-sweet life will be--
when you come back to me

7.How Insensitive(Insensatez)

Written:Antonio Carlos Jobim/Ray Gilbert/Vinicius Demoraes
Arranger:Claus Ogerman

How insensitive I must have seemed
when she told me that she loved me.
How unmoved and cold I must have seemed
when she told me so sincerely.
Why,she must have asked, did I just turn
and stare in icy silence?
What was I to say? What can you say
when a love affair is over?

Now she's gone away and I'm alone
with the memory of her last look.
Vague and drawn and sad, I see it still,
all her heartbreak in that last look.
How, she must have asked, could I just turn
and stare in icy silence?
What was I to do? What can one do
when a love affair is over?


8.I Concentrate On You

Lyrics:Cole Porter
Music:Cole Porter
Arranger:Claus Ogerman

Whenever skies look gray to me and trouble begins to brew
Whenever the winter winds become too strong
I concentrate on you

When fortune cries 'Nay, nay' to me
And people declare 'You're through'
Whenever the blues become my only songs
I concentrate on you

On your smile, so sweet, so tender
When at first my kiss you do decline
On the light in your eyes when you surrender
And once again our arms intertwine

And so when wise men say to me
That love's young dream never comes true
To prove that even the wise men can be wrong
I concentrate on you

10.Once I Loved(O Amor En Paz)

Written:Antonio Carlos Jobim/Ray Gilbert/Vinicius Demoraes
Arranger:Claus Ogerman

Once, once I Loved
And I gave so much love to this world you were the world to me
Once I cried
At the thought I was foolish and proud and let you say goodbye

And then one day
From my infinite sadness you came and brought me love again
Now I know
That no matter what ever befalls I'll never let you go
I will hold you close
Make you stay
Because love is the saddest thing when it goes away
Love is the saddest thing when it goes away
