Little Joy Lyrics
One too many goals,
The measure of your worth
Can sink your weight in gold
Sat by the ivory sill,
The further out you look,
The further out you'll be
It's not enough to set the terms,
If nothing ventured, nothing earned
Though odds are set against,
In time, I'll belong to you,
It's how it's meant to be
Settled on your own,
Sweeping dust from stone
With a letter home
Back where the hour's long,
The simplest things invite a thrill
If just by noticing at will
It's not enough to set the terms
If nothing ventured, nothing learned
It's how it's always been
E onde a sorte ha de te levar, saiba o caminho e o fim mais que chegar
E quiera o dia ser, gentil a tua mao, aberta pra quem e
In time, I'll belong to you,
It's how it's meant to be,
And how it's always been

Little Joy is formed by Binki Shapiro, Rodrigo Amarante and Fabrizio Moretti, three friends who dropped their routine at their respective hometowns to make a record in Los Angeles, California in 2007.

Through a chance encounter at a Portuguese festival in Lisbon, where both Amarante (Singer/Guitarist of Los Hermanos) and Moretti (drummer of The Strokes) had performed, the two chatted well through the night and into the morning by the side of the river, humoring the idea of working together on music that had no affiliation to their particular bands.
A year later, Amarante traveled to the United States to record with Devendra Banhart on his Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon album. On the off hours of an arduous recording process, Amarante would meet with Moretti to discuss anything but music.
Binki Shapiro, musician and native of Los Angeles, was introduced to the pair through mutual acquaintances and became a fast friend, encouraging the two to focus on the music they had spoken of long before. Through the process of late night “show-and-tell” the three developed and arranged songs Moretti had begun and soon after started writing original music for the group as a band.
A couple of months later they all moved into a house in Echo Park to demo songs and soon after, with the help of producer Noah Georgeson, who had recorded Banhart’s album, they finished their self-titled debut, Little Joy, named after the cocktail lounge just down the street from their home.
Little Joy was released worldwide by Rough Trade Records, a division of The Beggar’s Group, on Nov. 4th, 2008.

One too many goals
That measure out your worth
To seek your weight in gold
Sat by the ivory sill
The further out you look
The further out you'll be
It's not enough to set the terms
If nothing ventured, nothing earned
Though odds are set againstIn time, I'll belong to you
It's how it's meant to be
Settled on your own
Sweeping dust from stones
With a letter home
Back where the hour's long
The simplest things invite a thrill
If just by noticing at will
It's not enough to set the terms
If nothing ventured, nothing earned
It's how it's always been
E onde a sorte há de te levar
Saiba, o caminho é o fim, mais que chegar
E queira o dia ser gentil
À tua mão aberta pra quem é
In time, I'll belong to you
That's how it's meant to be
And how it's always been

@Venissa VB I'll try my own translation:
And wherever luck takes you
Know, the path is the end, more so than the arrival
Must the day be kind
For whom is your open hand?
The last verse translates that way, but since there's some artistical liberty involved in the way he sang, the way I interpret it doesn't translate well; so here's a version that explains it a bit:
Must the day be kind
To your (open) hand / open to who is (referring to those who are kind like "the day")
Of course, this is the way I understood the lyrics through the rithm he used, but I might be wrong.

I think all three members realized they made something so special that if they left it alone it would remain iconic. It's like the Postal Service except it's music for feeling happy.
