LETRAS DE "QUIET NIGHTS"


Where or When

Lyrics by Lorenz Hart, music Richard Rodgers

 

It seems we stood and talked like this before,

We looked at each other in the same way then,

But I can't remeber where... Or when.

 

The clothes you're wearing are

the clothes you wore,

The smile you are smiling you where similing then,

But I can't remeber where... Or when.

 

Some things that happened for the first time

Seem to be happening again.

 

And so it seems that we have met before,

And laughed before and loved before,

But who knows where or when.

 

And so it seems that we have met before,

And laughed before and loved before,

But who knows where or when...

Who knows where or when.

Too Marvelous for Words

Lyrics by Johnny Mercer, music Richard Whuting                       

 

I search for phrases to sing your praises

But there aren't any magic adjectives

To tell you all you are

 

You're just too marvelous, too marvelous

For words like glorious, glamorous

And that old standby amorous

it's all too wonderful, I'll never find the words

That say enough, tell enough

I mean they just aren't swell enough

 

You're much, too much and just too very, very

To ever be in Webster's dictionary and so

I'm borrowing a love song from the birds

To tell you that you're marvelous

Too marvelous for words

---------------------------------------------------

 

I've Grown Accustomed to Your Face

Lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner, music Frederick Loewel

 

I've grown accustomed to his face,

He almost makes the day begin,

I've grown accustomed to the tune he

whistle night and noon.

His smiles, his frowns,

His ups his downs are second nature ot me know

Like breathing out and breathing in.

 

I was so really independent and content before we met,

Surely I could always be that way again and yet

I've grown accustomed to his looks,

Accustomed to his voice,

Accustomed to his face.

 

I've grown accustomed to his face,

He almost makes the day begin.

I've gotten used to hear him say good morning everyday.

His joys, his woes, his highs, his lows

Are sencond nature to me know

Like breathing out, breathing in

 

I'm very glad he's a man and so easy to forget

Rather like a habit one can always break and yet

I've grown accustomed to the trace

of something in the air

Accustomed to his face

The Boy From Ipanema

Lyrics by Norman Gimbel – Vinicius de Moraes, music Antonio Carlos Jobim

 

Tall and tan and young and lovely

The girl from Ipanema goes walking and

When she passes, each one she passes goes

 

When she walks, she's like a samba

That swings so cool and sways so gentle that

When she passes, each one she passes goes

 

But I watch her so sadly

How can I tell her, "I love you?"

Yes, I would give my heart gladly

But each day, when she walks to the sea

She looks straight ahead, not at me

 

Tall and tan and young and lovely

The girl from Ipanema goes walking and

When she passes, I smile but she

doesn't see, doesn't see

 

Olha que coisa mais linda mais cheia de graca

E ela menina que vem e que passa

Num doce balanco a caminho do mar

 

Moca do corpo dourado do sol de ipanema

O seu balancado e mais que um poema

E a coisa mais linda que eu ja vi passar..

 

But I watch her so sadly

Porque tudo e tao triste

Yes, I would give my heart gladly

But each day, when she walks to the sea

She looks straight ahead, not at me

 

Tall and tan and young and lovely

The girl from ipanema goes walking

And when she passes, I smile but she doesn't see

 

Por causa do amor

She just doesn't see

Nem olha para mim

She never seem me

Por causa do amor

----------------------------------------------------

 

Walk On By

Lyrics by  Hal David, music Burt Bacharach

 

If you see me walking ddown the street

And I start to cry each time we meet

Walk on by

Walk on by

Make believe that you don't see the tears

Just let me grieve in private

Cause each time I see you I break down and cry

Walk on by.

 

I just can't get over losing

you and so if I seem broken and blue

Walk on by

Walk on by

Foolish pride that's all that I have left

So let me hide the tears and

the sadness you gave me when

you said goodbye

Walk on by.

 

If you see me walking down the

street and I start to cry each

time we meet

Walk on by

Walk on by

Make believe that you don't see the tears

Just let me grieve in private

Cause each tim I see you I break down and cry

Walk on by

 

I just can't get over losing

you an so if I seem broken and

blue walk on by

Walk on by

Foolish pride is all I have left so let me hide

The tears and the sadness you gave

me whe nyou said goodbye

Walk on by

Walk on by

---------------------------------------------------

 

You're my Thrill

Lyrics by Sydney Clare, music Jay Gorney

 

You're my thrill

You do something to me

You send chills right through me

When I look at you

Cause you're my thrill

 

You're my thrill

How my pulse increases

I just go to pieces

When I look at you

Cause you're my thrill

 

Nothing seems to matter

Here's my heart on a

silver platter

Where's my will

Why this strange desire

That keeps mounting higher

When I look at you

I can't keep still

 

You, my thrill

You know you are my thrill

 

Nothing seems to matte

Here's my heart on a

silver platter

Where's my will

Why this strange desire

That keeps mounting higher

When I look at you

I can't keep still

 

You, my thrill

You know you are my thrill

-----------------------------------------

 

Este Seu Olhar

Lyrics and, music Antonio Carlos Jobim

 

Este seu olhar quando encontra o meu

Fala de umas coisas

Que eu não posso acreditar

Doce é sonhar, é pensar que você

Gosta de mim como eu de você

 

Mas a ilusão quando se desfaz

Dói no coração de quem sonhou

Sonhou demais, ah! se eu pudesse entender

O que dizem os seus olhos

 

[piano solo]

 

Mas a ilusão quando se desfaz

Dói no coração de quem sonhou

Sonhou demais, ah! se eu pudesse entender

O que dizem os seus olhos

So nice

Lyrics and music  Marcos Kostenbader Valle and Paulo Sergio Valle,

English words by Norman Gimbel

 

 

Someone to hold me tight

That would be very nice

Someone to love me right

That would be very nice

 

Someone to understand

Each little dream in me

Someone to take my hand

And be a team with me

 

So nice, life would be so nice

If one day I´d find

Someone who would take my hand

And samba through life with me

 

Someone to cling to me

Stay with me right or wrong

Someone to sing to me

Some little samba song

 

Someone to take my heart

And give his heart to me

Someone who´s ready to

Give love a start with me

 

Oh yes, that would be so nice, nice

Shouldn´t we, you and me?

I could see it would be nice

 

Someone to cling to me

Stay with me right or wrong

Someone to sing to me

Some little samba song

 

Someone to take my heart

And give his heart to me

Someone who´s ready to

Give love a start with me

 

Oh yes, life would be so nice, nice

Shouldn´t we, you and me?

I can see it would be nice

Quiet Nights

Lyrics by Gene Lees and Buddy Kay, music Antonio Carlos Jobim

 

Quiet nights of quiet stars

Quiet cords from my guitar

Floating on the silence

that surrounds us

 

Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams

Quiet walks by quiet streams

And the window looking on

the mountains and the sea

how lovely

This is where I want to be

Here with you so close to me

Until the final flicker of life's ember

 

I who was lost and lonely

Believing life was only

A bitter tragic joke

Have found with you

The meaning of existence

Oh my love

 

This is where I want to be

Here with you so close to me

Until the final flicker of life's ember

I who was lost and lonely

Believing life was only

A bitter tragic joke

Have found with you

The meaning of existence

Oh my love

----------------------------------------------

 

Guess I'll Hang my Tears Out to Dry

Lyrics by Sammy Cahn, music Jule Styne

 

 

The torch I carry is handsome

it's worth it's heartache in ransom

And when the twilight steals

I know how the lady in the harbor feels

 

When I want rain I get sunny weather

I'm just as blue as the sky

Since love is gone, can't pull myself together

Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry

 

Friends ask me out, I tell them I'm busy

I must get a new alibi, I stay at home

And ask myself where is he?

Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry

 

Dry little teardrops hanging on a string of dreams

Fly little memories, my little memories

Remind him pf our crazy schemes

 

Somebody said just forget about him

So I gave that treatment a try

Strangely enough I got along without him

Then one day he passed me right by

Oh well, I guess I'll hang my tears out to dry

How can you mend a broken heart

Lyrics, music Gibb, Robin Hugh;Gibb, Barry

 

I can think of younger days
When living for my life
Was everything a man could want to do?
I could never see tomorrow
But I was never told about the sorrow

And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart
And let me live again

I can still feel the breeze
That rustles through the trees
And misty memories do days gone by
We could never see tomorrow
No one said a word about the sorrow
And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart
And let me live again

---------------------------------------------------------

 

Everytime we say goodbye

Cole Porter

 

Everytime we say goodbye
I die a little
Everytime we say goodbye
I wonder why a little
Why the gods above me
Who must be in the know
Think so little of me
They allow you to go

When you're near
There's such an air
Of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere
Begin to sing about it
There's no love song finer
But how strange the change
From major to minor
Everytime we say goodbye

There's no love song finer
But how strange the change
From major to minor
Everytime we say goodbye.
