So Nice
Antonio Carlos Jobin & Astrud Gilberto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That would be very nice
Someone to love me right
That would be very nice
Someone to understand
Each little dream in me
Someone to take my hand
And be a team with me
So nice, life would be so nice
If one day I'd find
Someone who would take my hand
And samba through life with me
Someone to cling to me
Stay with me right or wrong
Someone to sing to me
Some little samba song
Someone to take my heart
And give his heart to me
Someone who's ready to
Give love a start with me
Oh yeah, that would be so nice
I could see you and me, that would be nice
The song "So Nice" is a beautiful love ballad that expresses the desire of finding true love and camaraderie. The lyrics resonate with the idea that every person wants to find someone who understands their innermost dreams and wishes, somebody who would hold them close, stay with them through thick and thin, sing to them, and help them samba through life's ups and downs.
The lyrics, written by Norman Gimbel and Marcos Valle, evoke a sense of longing and hopefulness, representing the universal human desire for connection and meaning in life, especially in terms of romantic love. They convey a desire for a deeper connection with another person beyond physical attraction or material possessions, highlighting the importance of emotional intimacy between two people.
The song's catchy melody and smooth bossa nova rhythm, accompanied by Antonio Carlos Jobim's and Astrud Gilberto's beautiful and soulful voices, make it a classic that has stood the test of time. It is a perfect example of the romantic Brazilian musical style that became popular in the 1960s and continues to be celebrated today.

i don't speak Portuguese, i've never been to Brazil, I don't have any connection to Brazil or the Brazilian community at all. But man this music soothes me, it calms me, i don't understand a word is says...well, maybe a few words as i do speak spanish....but this music just speaks to me and settles in me so effortlessly.

Same here. I got a DNA test done to check if I have any Brazilian ancestors. Results are coming in soon. I find the language and music very pleasant to the ear.
Update: The results came out with 16% Iberian DNA 🤩

Oq que é isso ? Essa coisa esquisita que sentimos, é um sentimento mt estranho e um pouco gosto

I started studying Portuguese when I met my wife to be who is from Portugal. My first teacher was an American who learned Portuguese in Brazil. Her passion for teaching us about Brazilian culture and the Portuguese language was a great inspiration. Forty years after that first class my own passion for speaking this beautiful language is as strong as ever. When I first started listening to bossa nova I could appreciate the beauty without understanding the words. Over time listening to the music and learning the meaning of the the words has made bossa nova my favorite music. This really is beautiful music and understanding it has helped my to learn to speak Brazilian Portuguese and has also inspired me to learn more about Brasil , it’s history and it’s culture.

I don't know if you know but brazilian portuguese is very different from european portuguese, and this difference is only in the accent
@eddiesantos4978
Brazil is special, no matter what they say
@williamrallis83
You cannot allow a damned commercial while listening to jazz or bossa nova,
… it kills the ambiance.
