Antonio Carlos Jobim was a great songwriter. These new translations give a more accurate English
version of the songs we know and love. With full respect to the original lyricists we hope to give Jobim fans a new enjoyment and appreciation of these timeless classics.
lyrics
Antonio Carlos Jobim & Vinicius de Moraes
trans. Mal Adam
You came, you smiled, you got your love's sorrow
My time is here, to calm your fear, caring for sadness
For certain lovers quarrel
At times our hearts our shut
The fight will always start the making up
And when I need, it's you to comfort me
With a loving you've been showing
It's what we need to know
That our love is here to stay
I gotta say will love forever
Got so good now, to love in peace
We will fight no more
