Summer Breeze
Al Jarreau/George Benson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the evening on a Friday night
A little light shining through the window
Let me know everything is alright, sing this song
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
Hear me sing, summer breeze makes me feel fine
See the paper lying on the sidewalk
A little music from the house next door
So I walk on up to the doorstep
Through the screen and across the floor
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
Sing it, summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind, yeah
When I come home from a hard day's work
And you're waitin' there not a care in the world
See the smile a waitin' in the kitchen
Food cooking and the plates for two
Feel the arms that reach out to hold me
In the evenin' when the day is through
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
Here we go, summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
Come on, summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind

Summer Breeze
Summer Breeze
See the curtains hanging in the window Veja as cortinas penduradas na janela
In the evening on a friday night À noite, numa sexta à noite
Little light is shining through the window Pouca luz está brilhando através da janela
Lets me know everything is all right Deixa-me saber que está tudo bem
Summer breeze Brisa de verão
Makes me feel fine Faz-me sentir bem
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind Soprando através do jasmim em minha mente
Summer breeze Brisa de verão
Makes me feel fine Faz-me sentir bem
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind Soprando através do jasmim em minha mente
See the paper laying on the sidewalk Veja o papel que na calçada
A little music from the house next door Um pouco de música da casa ao lado
So I walked on up to the doorstep Então eu fui até na porta
Through the screen and across the floor Através da tela e através do chão
Summer breeze Brisa de verão
Makes me feel fine Faz-me sentir bem
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind Soprando através do jasmim em minha mente
Summer breeze Brisa de verão
Makes me feel fine Faz-me sentir bem
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind Soprando através do jasmim em minha mente
Sweet days of summer Doces dias de verão
The jasmine is in bloom O jasmim é a flor
July is dressed up and playing her tune Julho é vestir-se e jogar sua música
And I come home E eu chego em casa
From a hard day's work A partir do trabalho de um dia duro
And you are waiting there E você está esperando lá
Without a care in the world Sem um cuidado no mundo
See the smile waiting in the kitchen Ver o sorriso esperando na cozinha
Through cooking and a place for two Através de cozinha e um lugar para dois
Feel the arms that reach out to hold me Sinta os braços que se estendem para me segurar
In the evening when the day is through À noite, quando o dia é através de
Summer breeze Brisa de verão
Makes me feel fine Faz-me sentir bem
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind Soprando através do jasmim em minha mente
Summer breeze Brisa de verão
Makes me feel fine Faz-me sentir bem
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind Soprando através do jasmim em minha mente

One of the greatest collaborations of two of the best Old School Artists! Love George Benson & Al Jarreau’s version of Summer Breeze. 💙🎼🎶🎵💙

I stumbled across this gem. The complementary vocals of Al & George is simply mesmerizing. The smoothness of the song eclipses the original version in my opinion. The undertones of George's guitar playing sounds incredible along with the octaves & ranges of Al. It also cannot be forgotten that George is a vocal stylist with a deeper voice that contrasts nicely with Al's. I could go on for awhile longer but the video ended & I want to hear more of this dynamic duo. Well done...very well done. 💋💕💋
