So Nice Summer Samba
Joao Gilberto & Astrud Gilberto Lyrics

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

Someone to hold me tight
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'm high right meow and I'm thinking why has no one done a weed remix to this🤔
someone who rolls it right
That would be so nice
Someone who has a light
That would be so nice
Someone who understands
What 4:20 means to me
Some who rolls with hands
And give the greens to me
So nice, that would be so nice...😂

I don't know if there'll ever be a voice more perfect for the Bossa Nova style than Astrud Gilberto's--just a flawless blend of breezy, smooth, and relaxed with a hint of longing and melancholy--MAGNIFICENT!!

Those who are wondering who plays the incredible organ in the background, it's Walter Wanderley. His 1966 recording on Verve Records "A Certain Smile A Certain Sadness" with Astrud is ESSENTIAL listening for any bossa or jazz fan !

If you luv the reverb sound heard here along with Astrud‘s lilting vocals, you'll luv their 1966 recording ! Be ready to be transported to a world of cabana beaches and chilled martinis !

The 22 dislikes make no sense to me. This rendition is excellent.

@annalymandotcom

3y↑4

So often those who put up the dislikes don't know much about music and without any real background are unable to judge from any knowledge. They only know one or two things (said the music teacher, me). Or they don't think they like organ music, or singers with an accent or whatever issue they seem to have. Astrud was very young, had no training and was suddenlyput on the spot to sing these songs in a foreign language. As it turned out she had a unique voice and people loved the innocence in her voice, as well as her smooth tone and spot on rhythmic sense. You should hear her scat in her later years when she toured with her son! I have a number of her albums that she released over the years. She is a very good singer. She has a rhythm, and a smoothness no one else has.

@shihlin1

Astrud Gilberto‘s original version still can't be topped ! The chord changes will trip up any singer. What makes this song so difficult to sing is the long verses without a break. Breath control is absolutely essential !

Even a singer such as Diana Krall struggles with this song as she comes up for air. That's why the vocal version has not been tackled by singers, only a handful since Astrud‘s original 1966 version, still THE definitive version. Her vocal breath control is amazing !

Hers was a truly lovely voice. She expanded the audience for samba and her later contributions to jazz vocals by women are underappreciated. All that said, this performance showed a weakness she had for missing pitch a bit when descending.
