Getz & Gilberto & Jobim Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que o nosso lar desmoronou
Meu sabiá, meu violão
E uma cruel desilusão
Foi tudo que ficou
Ficou
Pra machucar meu coração
Que o nosso lar desmoronou
Meu sabiá, meu violão
E uma cruel desilusão
Foi tudo que ficou
Ficou
Pra machucar meu coração
Quem sabe, não foi bem melhor assim
Melhor pra você e melhor pra mim
A vida é uma escola que a gente precisa aprender
A ciência de viver pra não sofrer
The lyrics of "Para Machuchar Meu Coração" are about a relationship that ended a year and a half ago. The singer is describing how their home and their love for each other have crumbled, leaving only their memories and pain behind. He mentions his sabiá (a Brazilian bird) and his guitar as the only things that remain, emphasizing the emptiness of his life without his former partner. However, he also suggests that perhaps the breakup was for the best, both for him and his ex-partner, as life is about learning and growing from our experiences, including heartbreak.
The song's mellow and melancholy tone is a hallmark of bossa nova, a genre of Brazilian music that emerged in the late 1950s and gained international popularity in the 1960s. "Para Machuchar Meu Coração" was written by Ary Barroso, a prominent composer and songwriter from Brazil. The song was first recorded in 1957, but became widely known thanks to the 1964 album "Getz/Gilberto", which featured João Gilberto, Stan Getz, and Antonio Carlos Jobim. The album won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1965, and helped to cement bossa nova's place in the world music landscape.

Tá fazendo um ano e meio, amor,
It's been a year and a half, my love,
Que o nosso lar desmoronou
Since our home fell apart
Meu sabiá, meu violão,
My sabiá bird, my guitar,
E uma cruel desilusão,
And a cruel disillusion,
Foi tudo que ficou
Were all that remained
Ficou,
Remained,
Pra machucar meu coração
To hurt my heart
Quem sabe, não foi bem melhor assim,
Who knows, maybe it was better this way,
Melhor pra você e melhor pra mim
Better for you and better for me
A vida é uma escola, onde a gente precisa aprender
Life is a school, where we need to learn
A ciência de viver pra não sofrer
The science of living to avoid suffering

Lyrics in English
To hurt my heartStan Getz , João Gilberto
It's been a year and a half, love,
That our home has collapsed
My wisdom, my guitar,
And a cruel disillusionment,
It was all that stayed
,
To hurt my heartWho knows, it was not so much better,
Better for you and better for me
Life is a school, where we need to learn
The science of living to not sufferIt's been a year and a half, love,
That our home has collapsed
My wisdom, my guitar,
And a cruel disillusionment,
It was all that stayed
,
To hurt my heartWho knows, it was not so much better,
Better for you and better for me
Life is a school, where we need to learn
The science of living to not suffer
@Juaumzinhow
Only to hurt my heart
It's been a year and a half, my love,
Since our world has collapsed
My sabiá (songbird), my guitar,
And a cruel disillusionment,
It was all that stayed
Only to hurt my heart
Who knows, it's better that way,
Better for you and better for me
Life is a school, where we need to learn
The science of living to not suffer
It's been a year and a half, love,
That our world has collapsed
My sabiá (songbird), my guitar,
And a cruel disillusionment,
It was all that stayed
Only to hurt my heart
Who knows, it's better that way,
Better for you and better for me
Life is a school, where we need to learn
The science of living to not suffer

Tá fazendo ano e meio amor It has already been a year and a half, my love
Que o nossa lar desmoronou That our household has crumbled
Meu sabiá meu violão My thrush/song bird, my guitar
E uma cruel desilusão and a cruel disillusion
Foi tudo que ficou Was all that remained in the end
Ficou para machucar meu coração Remained thus, and all that simply crush my tender heart
Tá fazendo ano e meio amor It has already been a year and a half, my love
Que o nossa lar desmoronou That our household has crumbled
Meu sabiá meu violão My thrush/song bird, my guitar
E uma cruel desilusão and a cruel disillusion
Foi tudo que ficou Was all that remained in the end
Ficou para machucar meu coração Remained thus, and all to simply crush my tender heart
Quem sabe não foi bem melhor assim Who knows maybe it was all better this way perhaps
Melhor pra você e melhor pra mim Better for you and also better for me perhaps
A vida é uma escola Inevitably, life is a school for all
que a gente precisa aprender where everyone must learn
A ciência de viver pra não sofrer the ways of life so that they may not suffer evermore

To Hurt My Heart
"It's been a year and more, love
That our home collapsed
My thrush, my guitar
And a cruel disappointment
Was all that it was
It was
To hurt my heart
Who knows, it was not so much better
Better for you and better for me
Life is a school
Where people need to learn
The science of living not to suffer
It's been a year and more, love
That our home collapsed
My thrush, my guitar
And a cruel disappointment
Was all that it was
It was
To hurt my heart"
@bjrntykhelle2892
It's been a year and a half, my love.
Since our home fell apart.
My bird, my guitar and a cruel disillusion
Was all that remained.
It remained to hurt my heart.
(Repeat)
Who knows if it wasn't better this way.
Better for you, and better for me.
Life is a school where we need to learn
the science of living without suffering

É gostoso ver tantos estrangeiros por aqui, mas tbm traz uma certa tristeza por ter um número maior de estrangeiros do que brasileiros. João Gilberto é mais respeitado fora do Brasil. Deixou saudades João
@precipitam
Mas ainda bem, Stan Getz estraga a música, melhor ouvir o João apresentando sozinho
