Dick Farney ((Farnésio Dutra e Silva - Nov 14,1921 Rio de Janeiro - Aug 4… Read Full Bio ↴Dick Farney ((Farnésio Dutra e Silva - Nov 14,1921 Rio de Janeiro - Aug 4,1987 São Paulo) was an outstanding singer, instrumentalist and composer who contributed decisively to the renovation of Brazilian popular music with the incorporation of jazz harmonies and style. Having been the first artist ever to record "Tenderly," which would become an international hit later in the interpretation of Nat "King" Cole, Farney had hits in Brazil that announced the soon-to-be bossa nova genre, such as "Copacabana" and "Teresa da Praia" (the latter having been recorded in duet with Lúcio Alves). He also worked on the films Somos Dois (1950, by Milton Rodrigues), Carnaval Atlântida (1952, by José Carlos Burle), and Perdidos de Amor (1953, by Eurides Ramos). The son of a pianist and female singer, Farney became a classical pianist. His first recording as a singer came in 1944 as the crooner of the Ferreira Filho orchestra with "The Music Stopped" (Rodgers/Hart). As a solo singer, always singing in tha Bing Crosby's style, his first recording was two years later, interpreting the samba-canção "Copacabana" (João de Barro/Alberto Ribeiro), that would become one of his classics. Still in 1946, he went to the U.S. to perform with Cole, Bill Evans, and David Brubeck. In the next year, he had another season in that country, performing for two months at NBC radio and doing live shows in Hollywood, Chicago, and San Francisco. Dick Farney launched "Tenderly" (Walter Gross) in that period through Majestic Records. Back in Brazil, he had success with the songs "Marina" (Dorival Caymmi), "Um Cantinho e Você" (José Maria de Abreu/Jair Amorim), and "Nick Bar" (Garoto/José Vasconcelos).In the early '50s, he had success with "Uma Loira" (Hervê Cordovil), "Alguém Como Tu" (José Maria de Abreu/Jair Amorim), "Sem Esse Céu," and "Ranchinho de Palha" (both by Luís Bonfá). In 1954, he formed the jazzy Dick Farney e Seu Conjunto, in which he played the piano. A new phase began in this year, marked by his association with Tom Jobim, that announced the forthcoming bossa nova times; in that year, "Teresa da Praia" (Tom Jobim/Billy Blanco) became a huge hit, interpreted by Farney and Lúcio Alves. The song intended to discredit the so-called rivalry between the two singers. In the same year, Farney participated in the Sinfonia do Rio de Janeiro (Tom Jobim/Billy Blanco). In 1959, he had his own show at TV Record (São Paulo), and in 1965, he and Betty Faria hosted the Dick e Betty 17 show at TV Globo (Rio de Janeiro). In 1965, Farney launched an album through Elenco with "Você," another of his biggest hits. In 1971, Farney formed a trio with bassist Sabá (Sebastião Oliveira da Paz) and drummer Toninho (Antônio Pinheiro Filho) that performed at Flag's nightclub. His last record was a piano solo tape, recorded in his home, in Sao Paulo.

Dick Farney Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tudo aconteceu sem eu nem perceber
Meus amigos me levaram até você
Eu tava tão desajeitado
Mas quando eu te vi fiquei todo arrepiado

Fazia tudo pra te impressionar
Até lente azul tive que colocar
Mudei o visual deixei o cabelo crescer
Tudo isso pra te convencer

Oh Marina vem pra cá
Vem correndo me escutar
Tenho palavras pra dizer
Quero ficar com você

Mas não queria que tudo terminasse
Eu fui para manhã você ficou a tarde
A escola nos separou e nesse dia você nem chorou
Assinei sua camisa pra você lembrar
Daquela tarde em que tentei te conquistar





Oh Marina... Oh Marina... Vem pra cá
Oh Marina... Oh Marina... Quero ficar com você

Overall Meaning

The song "Marina" by Dick Farney relays the story of a young man who becomes enamoured with a girl named Marina. He recounts how he met her through his friends and how he was nervous and awkward in her presence. He confesses that he went to great lengths to impress her, even going as far as wearing blue contact lenses and changing his appearance. Despite his efforts, their time together was brief as they were separated by school and commitments. The song ends with the singer expressing his desire to be with Marina.


The lyrics of "Marina" express a common teenage sentiment of infatuation that can be both exciting and nerve-wracking. The singer's willingness to go to great lengths to impress Marina shows the lengths people will go to when they are trying to win someone's affection. His attempt to convey his feelings to her through the song highlights the universal desire to be heard and understood. The fact that the two were ultimately separated by circumstance illustrates how fleeting and ephemeral relationships can be in youth.

Marina, morena
Marina, você se pintou
Marina, você faça tudo
Mas faça um favor
Não pinte esse rosto que eu gosto
Que eu gosto e que é só meu
Marina, você já é bonita
Com o que Deus lhe deu
Me aborreci, me zanguei
Já não posso falar
E quando eu me zango, Marina
Não sei perdoar
Eu já desculpei muita coisa
Você não arranjava outra igual
Desculpe, Marina, morena
Mas eu tô de mal

Marina, morena
Marina, você se pintou
Marina, você faça tudo
Mas faça um favor
Não pinte esse rosto que eu gosto

Com o que Deus lhe deu
Me aborreci, me zanguei
Já não posso falar
E quando eu me zango, Marina
Não sei perdoar
Eu já desculpei muita coisa
Você não arranjava outra igual
Desculpe, Marina, morena
Mas eu tô de mal
De mal com você
De mal com você

Nossa, desde muito nova eu sempre ouvi muito músicas das década de 40-50, mas - confesso que por um preconceito absurdo - sempre de artistas internacionais, nunca nacionais, e agora percebo quanto tempo perdi e estou feliz por ter finalmente me permitido ouvir a estas obras tão ricas. Primeira vez que escuto Dick Farney cantar e estou encantada, que voz!

Muito obrigada por compartilhar :)
