Caetano Emanuel Viana Teles Veloso (born August 7, 1942), better known as Caetano Veloso, is a composer, singer, guitarist, writer, and political activist. He has been called "one of the greatest songwriters of the century"[1] and is sometimes considered to be the Bob Dylan of Brazil.[2] Veloso is most known for his participation in the Brazilian musical movement Tropicalismo which encompassed theatre, poetry and music in the 1960s, at the beginning of the Brazilian military dictatorship.
Veloso was born in Bahia, a state in the northeastern area of Brazil, but moved to Rio de Janeiro as a college student in the mid-1960s. Soon after the move, Veloso won a music contest and was signed to his first label. He became one of the founders of Tropicalismo with a group of several other musicians and artists—including his sister Maria Bethânia—in the same period. However the Brazilian government at the time viewed Veloso's music and political action as threatening, and he was arrested, along with fellow musician Gilberto Gil, in 1969. The two eventually were exiled from Brazil, and went to London, where they lived for two years. After he moved back to his home country, in 1972, Veloso once again began recording and performing, becoming popular outside of Brazil in the 1980s and 1990s. He has so far won five Latin Grammy Awards. He recorded his first all-English album, A Foreign Sound in 2004. The album contains many American standards.
Gilberto Passos Gil Moreira (born June 26, 1942), better known as Gilberto Gil (IPA: [ʒiu̯berto ʒiu̯]), is a Brazilian singer, guitarist, and songwriter, known for both his musical innovation and his political commitment. Since 2003, he has been serving as his country's Minister of Culture in the administration of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
Gil began playing music as a child and was still a teenager when he joined his first band. He started out as a bossa nova musician, eventually writing songs that reflected a new focus on political awareness and social activism. He was a key figure in the Música Popular Brasileira and Tropicalismo movements of the 1960s, alongside artists such as longtime collaborator Caetano Veloso. The Brazilian military regime that took power in 1964 saw both Gil and Veloso as a threat, and the two were held for nine months in 1969 before they were told to leave the country. Gil moved to London, but returned to the Brazilian state of Bahia in 1972 and continued his musical career, as well as working as a politician and environmental advocate.
Gil's musical style incorporates an eclectic range of influences, including rock, Brazilian genres including samba and forró, African music, and reggae.

Wait Until Tomorrow
Caetano Veloso & Gilberto Gil Lyrics
Well, I'm standing here freezing, inside your golden garden
Got my ladder leaned up against your wall
Tonight's the night we planned to run away together
Come on, Dolly Mae
There's no time to stall
But now you're telling me that, ah
I think we better wait till tomorrow
I think we better wait till tomorrow
I think we better wait till tomorrow
Got to make sure it's right
So until tomorrow, goodnight
Dolly Mae, how can you hang me up this way
On the phone you said you wanted to run off with me today
Now I'm standing here like some turned down serenading fool
Hearing strange words stutter from the mixed up mind of you
And you keep telling me that
I think we better wait till tomorrow
I think we better wait till tomorrow
I think we better wait till tomorrow
Got to make sure it's right
So until tomorrow, goodnight
Oh, Dolly Mae, girl
You must be insane
So unsure of yourself learning from your unsure window pane
Do I see a silhouette of somebody pointing something from a tree?
Click, bang
What a hang
Your daddy shot poor me
And I hear you say
As I fade away
We don't have to wait till tomorrow
We don't have to wait till tomorrow
We don't have to wait till tomorrow
It must not have been right, so forever, goodnight
We don't have to wait till tomorrow
We don't have to wait till tomorrow
We don't have to wait till tomorrow
We don't have to wait till tomorrow
We don't have to wait till tomorrow
We don't have to wait till tomorrow
It must not have been right, so forever, goodnight
Got my ladder leaned up against your wall
Tonight's the night we planned to run away together
Come on, Dolly Mae
There's no time to stall
But now you're telling me that, ah
I think we better wait till tomorrow
I think we better wait till tomorrow
I think we better wait till tomorrow
Got to make sure it's right
So until tomorrow, goodnight
Dolly Mae, how can you hang me up this way
On the phone you said you wanted to run off with me today
Now I'm standing here like some turned down serenading fool
Hearing strange words stutter from the mixed up mind of you
And you keep telling me that
I think we better wait till tomorrow
I think we better wait till tomorrow
I think we better wait till tomorrow
Got to make sure it's right
So until tomorrow, goodnight
Oh, Dolly Mae, girl
You must be insane
So unsure of yourself learning from your unsure window pane
Do I see a silhouette of somebody pointing something from a tree?
Click, bang
What a hang
Your daddy shot poor me
And I hear you say
As I fade away
We don't have to wait till tomorrow
We don't have to wait till tomorrow
We don't have to wait till tomorrow
It must not have been right, so forever, goodnight
We don't have to wait till tomorrow
We don't have to wait till tomorrow
We don't have to wait till tomorrow
We don't have to wait till tomorrow
We don't have to wait till tomorrow
We don't have to wait till tomorrow
It must not have been right, so forever, goodnight
