Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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

In my loneliness when you're gone
When you are not here, and I am alone and feeling lonely
And I'm all by myself and I need your caress
When I am alone, and I long to feel your embrace
I just think of you and the thought of you holding me near
I think of you, and I imagine you holding me tightly
Makes my loneliness soon disappear
This thought of you being near takes away my loneliness
Though you're far away
Even though you are not physically close by
I have only to close my eyes and you are back to stay
I can simply close my eyes, and it feels like you are here with me once again
I just close my eyes and the sadness that missing you brings
When I shut my eyes, the deep sadness and pain of missing you disappears
Soon is gone and this heart of mine sings
As a result, the feelings of sadness vanish, and my heart fills with joy and happiness
Yes I love you so and that for me is all I need to know
I love you so much, and this feeling is sufficient for me
I will wait for you till the sun falls from out of the sky
I am willing to wait for you for as long as it takes, even if the entire world changes
For what else can I do
What other choice do I have?
I will wait for you, meditating how sweet life
My time will be spent longing for your return, and dreaming of a happier life
Will be when you come back to me
I will only be happy once you are here with me again

Meditação Tom Jobim
Quem acreditou No amor, no sorriso, na flor Entao sonhou, sonhou...
E perdeu a paz O amor, o sorriso e a flor Se transformam depressa demais
Quem, no coraçao Abrigou a tristeza de ver tudo isto se perder
E, na solidao Procurou um caminho e seguiu, Já descrente de um dia feliz
Quem chorou, chorou E tanto que seu pranto já secou
Quem depois voltou Ao amor, ao sorriso e à flor Então tudo encontrou
E a própria dor Revelou o caminho do amor E a tristeza acabou

Espetacular.

What a captivating, hypnotic melody!
Richard Condon
When he did duets Jobim was already gone. Any of these surpass any done on that album. These guys knew their music and were both at the top of their ability when they teamed up. Music done once and never to be matched.
Gabriel Heiser
Jobim died in 1994. This album was recorded in 1967....with Jobim.
