Méditation
Antonio Carlos Jobim [OST Mad Men] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

[Instrumental]




Overall Meaning

As this song is instrumental, there are no lyrics to interpret. However, the music itself can convey meaning and emotion. "Meditation" has a calm and peaceful atmosphere, with a gentle pace and soothing melodies. The use of the guitar and piano add to the relaxing tone of the piece. The music also has a bit of a Latin flair, which is typical of Jobim's style.


The title of the song, "Meditation," suggests a sense of introspection and reflection. The tranquil nature of the music encourages the listener to slow down and contemplate. Perhaps it is intended to be a soundtrack for a moment of quiet contemplation amidst the busyness of life.

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








Composição: Newton Mendonça / Tom Jobim

first heard it in bierut on our terrace overlooking the med in 1966 on bbc radio.  I was 12 years old and blown away.

Ric Lewis what a beautiful setting...the French Riviera of the ME.....now look at it.

@marcogil6665

Thanks for sharing your memory, I traveled in my mind to that setting,never been to beirut.

@colinpadley1897

Lovely story, music is international.

@DynamicVibeCraft

I’ve never thought this song could be that “old”. This song is so amazing and fantastic. You are very lucky that you could overlook the med at the age of 12. My dad was born in 1954 too, when he was 12, he was suffering from starvation.

Que belleza de canción, que gran belleza caray!! ...recuerdo una noche de 1978 al terminar de trabajar, en el centro de Lima, me compré el mejor disco de Antonio Carlos Jobim, tiene obras tan hermosas como Chica de Ipanema, A felicidade, Insensatez y otras así. Me quitó mi ansiedad y problemas que estaba enfrentando ... así es la música! - Gracias señor bad901!

My country .. Brazil is full of talent in music. The maestro Tom Jobim is just one of them. Too beautiful ... too much ...

@imaginativelads

I didn't know all these fans existed. Fell in love with Bossa Nova 15 yrs ago and never fallen out of love like so many genres before it. The Bossa Nova finds you, when you're ready.
