Voce E Eu
Astrid Gilberto/Stan Getz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Podem me chamar e me pedir e me rogar
E podem mesmo falar mal, ficar de mal que não faz mal

Podem preparar milhões de festas ao luar
Que eu não vou ir, melhor nem pedir, que eu não vou ir, não quero ir
E também podem me intrigar e até sorrir e até chorar
E podem mesmo imaginar o que melhor lhes parecer
Podem espalhar que estou cansado de viver
E que é uma pena para quem me conheceu
Eu sou mais você e eu

Podem espalhar que estou cansado de viver




E que é uma pena para quem me conheceu
Eu sou mais você e eu

Instead, they find their own happiness through their relationship with their partner. The lyrics are simple yet powerful and the music accompanying the lyrics conveys a sense of relaxation and ease.

Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes Each one she passes goes, ah
When she walks, she's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gently
That when she passes Each one she passes goes, ah
Oh, but he watches so sadly
How can he tell her he loves her
Yes, he would give his heart gladly
But each day, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at him
Tall, and tan, and young, and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes He smiles, but she doesn't see
Oh, but he sees her so sadly
How can he tell her he loves her
Yes, he would give his heart gladly
But each day, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at him
Tall, and tan, and young, and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes he smiles, but she doesn't see
She just doesn't see, no she just doesn't see
But she doesn't see, she doesn't see, no she just doesn't see

When I started dating my wife in 1964 this was one of the very first songs we listened to and bought. She died two weeks ago and I still love her and remember this like it was 1964. God bless you Elisabeth.

What a lovely vision she was and a unique and beautiful voice. She had a shy and timid presentation, and still delivered a classic performance. RIP
