Her playing attracted the attention of bass player Ray Brown, who brought her into touch with influential teachers and producers. At the age of seventeen, she won a scholarship from the Vancouver Jazz Festival to study at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. After three terms she moved to Los Angeles to study with Jimmy Rowles, with whom she also began to sing. In 1990, Krall relocated to New York. She is married to British musician Elvis Costello.
Este Seu Olhar
Diana Krall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fala de umas coisas
Que eu no posso acreditar
Doce sonhar, pensar que você
Gosta de mim como eu de você
Mas a iluso quando se desfaz
Dói no coração de quem sonhou
O que dizem os seus olhos
Mas a iluso quando se desfaz
Dói no coração de quem sonhou
Sonhou demais, ah se eu pudesse entender
O que dizem os seus olhos
In Diana Krall's song Este Seu Olhar, the opening line "Este seu olhar quando encontra o meu" translates to "Your gaze meeting mine" and sets the tone for the rest of the song. It's about the intense connection between two people through their eyes and how it conveys unspoken things. The second line, "Fala de umas coisas que eu não posso acreditar" means "Speaks of things I can't believe," suggesting that the emotions felt in that gaze are so powerful as to be surreal. The next line "Doce sonhar, pensar que você Gosta de mim como eu de você" means "Sweet dream, thinking that you like me as I like you," revealing the singer's hope that the other person reciprocates their feelings.
However, the singer is cautious in the following verses recognizing that illusions can shatter and lead to heartbreak. The line "Mas a ilusão quando se desfaz dói no coração de quem sonhou" translates to "But when illusions break it hurts the heart of those who dreamt." The singer wonders if they can truly understand what the other person's eyes are saying, and if the feelings are truly mutual. The song captures the mixed emotions of infatuation, hope, and the fear of rejection.

Ah, that look you wear
When you look at me
Promises a million magic things that cannot be
Sweet is to think
There is hope for my dream
That look you wear, is so unique and rare
Ah, but then I feel
That the illusion dies
You will disappear
And I'll be left
With lonely tears
If it were only sincere
That look you wear in your eyes
