Meditação (Meditation) Tom Jobim and Newton Mendonça                                                                Tom Jobim   

English lyrics by Norman Gimbel    In my loneliness  When you're gone and I'm all by myself  And I need your caress  I just think of you  And the thought of you holding me near  Makes my loneliness soon disappear  Though you're far away  I have only to close my eyes  And you are back to stay  I just close my eyes  And the sadness that missing you brings  Soon is gone and this heart of mine sings  Yes I love you so  And that for me is all I need to know  I will wait for you  Till the sun falls from out of the sky  For what else can I do  I will wait for you  Meditating how sweet life will be                                   When you come back to me

    Tom Jobim and Newton Mendonça / João Gilberto (translated by Jason Brazile)     Quem acreditou                 Whoever believed no amor, no sorriso, na flor           in love, in the smile, in the flower então sonhou, sonhou                 then dreamed, dreamed e perdeu a paz                    and lost his peace of mind o amor, o sorriso, e a flor              the love, the smile, and the flower se transformam depressa demais                    transformed too quickly too much   Quem no coração                Whoever in the heart abrigou a tristeza de ver                 sheltered sadness of seeing tudo isto se perder                               everything lost e na solidão                                      and in the solitude procuro um caminho e seguiu                 obtained a road and followed já descrente de um dia feliz         now unbelieving of a happy day   Quem chorou, chorou                                 Whoever cried cried e tanto que seu pranto já secou          and such that your weeping at once    dried up Quem depois voltou                              Whoever then returned ao amor, ao sorriso, e a flor                       to the love, to the smile, and the flower então tudo encontrou                           then found the reason for everything pois a própria dor                                        as the pain itself revelou o caminho do amor                                     revealed the road of love e a tristeza acabou                                               and the sadness ended -
