Antônio Carlos Brasileiro de Almeida Jobim (January 25, 1927 – December 8, … Read Full Bio ↴Antônio Carlos Brasileiro de Almeida Jobim (January 25, 1927 – December 8, 1994), also known as Tom Jobim, was a Brazilian composer, pianist, songwriter, arranger and singer. Widely considered as one of the great exponents of Brazilian music, Jobim internationalized bossa nova and, with the help of important American artists, merged it with jazz in the 1960s to create a new sound with remarkable popular success. As such he is sometimes known as the "father of bossa nova".
He was a primary force behind the creation of the bossa nova style, and his songs have been performed by many singers and instrumentalists within Brazil and internationally.
In 1965 his album Getz/Gilberto was the first jazz album to win the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. It also won for Best Jazz Instrumental Album – Individual or Group and for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical. The album's single "Garota de Ipanema" ("The Girl from Ipanema"), one of the most recorded songs of all time, won the Record of the Year. Jobim has left many songs that are now included in jazz and pop standard repertoires. The song "Garota de Ipanema" has been recorded over 240 times by other artists. His 1967 album with Frank Sinatra, Francis Albert Sinatra & Antônio Carlos Jobim, was nominated for Album of the Year in 1968.
Antônio Carlos Jobim was born in the middle-class district of Tijuca in Rio de Janeiro. His father, Jorge de Oliveira Jobim (São Gabriel, Rio Grande do Sul, April 23, 1889 – July 19, 1935), was a writer, diplomat, professor and journalist. He came from a prominent family, being the great nephew of José Martins da Cruz Jobim, senator, privy councillor and physician of Emperor Dom Pedro II. While studying medicine in Europe, José Martins added Jobim to his last name, paying homage to the village where his family came from in Portugal, the parish of Santa Cruz de Jovim, Porto. His mother, Nilza Brasileiro de Almeida (c. 1910 – November 17, 1989), was of Indigenous Brazilian descent from Northeastern Brazil.
When Antônio was still an infant, his parents separated and his mother moved with her children (Antônio Carlos and his sister Helena Isaura, born February 23, 1931) to Ipanema, the beachside neighborhood the composer would later celebrate in his songs. In 1935, when the elder Jobim died, Nilza married Celso da Frota Pessoa (died February 2, 1979), who would encourage his stepson's career. He was the one who gave Jobim his first piano. As a young man of limited means, Jobim earned his living by playing in nightclubs and bars and later as an arranger for a recording label, before starting to achieve success as a composer.
Jobim's musical roots were planted firmly in the work of Pixinguinha, the legendary musician and composer who began modern Brazilian music in the 1930s. Among his teachers were Lúcia Branco and, from 1941 on, Hans-Joachim Koellreutter, a German composer who lived in Brazil and introduced atonal and twelve-tone composition in the country. Jobim was also influenced by the French composers Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel, and by the Brazilian composers Heitor Villa-Lobos and Ary Barroso. The bossa nova guitar style in Jobim's music has become firmly entrenched in jazz culture. Among many themes, his lyrics talked about love, self-discovery, betrayal, joy and especially about the birds and natural wonders of Brazil, like the "Mata Atlântica" forest, characters of Brazilian folklore and his home city of Rio de Janeiro.
In early 1994, after finishing his album Antonio Brasileiro, Jobim complained to his doctor, Roberto Hugo Costa Lima, of urinary problems. He underwent an operation at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City on December 2, 1994. On December 8, while recovering from surgery, he had a cardiac arrest caused by a pulmonary embolism, and two hours later another cardiac arrest, from which he died. He was survived by his children and grandchildren. His last album, Antonio Brasileiro, was released posthumously three days after his death.
His body lay in state until given a proper burial on December 20, 1994. He is buried in the Cemitério São João Batista in Rio de Janeiro.

He/she is going my sadness
And he/she says her that cannot be without her
He/she tells him/her in a prayer
That she returns
Because more I cannot suffer
Enough of longing
The reality is that without her
There is no peace there is No beauty
It is alone sadness and the melancholy
That he/she doesn't leave me
He/she doesn't leave me
Don't leave
But, if she returns
If she returns that beautiful thing!
That crazy thing!
Because there are less fish to swim in the sea
Of the one that the kisses
That I will give in his/her mouth
Inside of my arms, the hugs
They must be millions of hugs
Pressed like this, glued like this, silenced like this,
Hugs and kisses and affections without having end
That it is for ending with that business
Of living far away from me
I don't want more that business
Of you to live like this
We will leave that business
Of you to live without me...
@fernandagenova8833
Vai minha tristeza
E diz a ela
Que sem ela não pode ser
Diz-lhe numa prece
Que ela regresse
Por que eu não posso mais sofrer
Chega de saudade
A realidade
É que sem ela não há paz
Não há beleza
É só tristeza
E a melancolia
Que não sai de mim
Não sai de mim, não sai
Mas se ela voltar, se ela voltar
Que coisa linda, que coisa louca
Pois há menos peixinhos a nadar no mar
Do que os beijinhos
Que eu darei na sua boca
Dentro dos meus braços
Os abraços
Hão de ser milhões de abraços
Apertado assim
Colado assim, calado assim
Abraços e beijinhos
E carinhos sem ter fim
Que é pra acabar com esse negócio
De você viver sem mim
Não quero mais esse negócio
De você viver sem mim

Chega de Saudade - Enough of Yearning
Go, my sadness / Vai minha tristeza
And tell her / E diz a ela
That without her it cannot be / Que sem ela não pode ser
Tell her in a prayer for her to come back / Diz-lhe numa prece que ela regresse
Because I cannot suffer anymore / Porque eu não posso mais sofrer
Enough of yearning, the reality is that without her / Chega de saudade, a realidade é que sem ela
There is no peace, no beauty, there's only sadness / Não há paz, não há beleza, é só tristeza
And the melancholy that does not leave me / E a melancolia que não sai de mim
Doesn't leave me, doesnt leave / Não sai de mim, não sai
But if she comes back, if she comes back / Mas se ela voltar, se ela voltar
Oh, so beautiful! Oh so crazy!/ Que coisa linda, que coisa louca
Because there are less little fishes swimming in the sea / Pois há menos peixinhos a nadar no mar
Than little kisses that I shall deliver to your mouth / Do que os beijinhos que eu darei na sua boca
Inside my arms the hugs shall be milions of hugs / Dentro dos meus braços os abraços hão de ser milhões de abraços
Thight like this, close like this, silent like this / Apertado assim, colado assim, calado assim
Hugs and little kisses and never ending caresses / Abraços e beijinhos e carinhos sem ter fim
It's to end this thing of living far away from me / Que é pra acabar com esse negócio de viver longe de mim
I don't want this thing of you living like this anymore / Não quero mais esse negócio de você viver assim
Let's end this thing of you leaving without me / Vamos deixar desse negócio de você viver sem mim
I don't want this thing of you living like this anymore / Não quero mais esse negócio de você viver assim
