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

I was born in 1966. What a nice era. I grew up hearing bossa nova tunes and Astrud on the radio and in elevators from time to time. It's so very nice to hear this again! Thank you for uploading.

I LOVE the Wanderley sound. It just flows. The dude was so good. It's crazy. This cat has it going on. I wish I could have seen him live. He' s been gone a while, but his music lives on!

A very Happy 81st Birthday Astrud Evangelina Weinert-March 29, 1940 Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. And, god willing, many more. Her work Walter Wanderley really shows her talent too. Queen of Bossa Nova singers..
@shihlin1
Her breath control is absolutely amazing !
The long phrases and she hardly comes up for air.
The lilting English phrased beautifully, you can hear every syllable in place.
And to think Astrud was a last minute addition to "Girl from Ipanema" that almost didn't happen.
Indeed one of the greatest finds not only in Bossa Nova, but jazz and lounge music.

Que lindeza de arranjos do Mestre Walter Wanderley, e a interpretação Fenomenal da inimitável Astrud Gilberto, é demais.
@dudley5533
Perfect blend of beautiful voice and samba beat provided by great musicians.

Oh man! whenever you get the chance to hear Walter Wanderley it's a great moment. Add Astrud Gilberto to the mix. Too bad I came along so late and too bad Walter is no longer with us.
