Night And Day
Sergio Mendes Brasil '66 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You are the one
Only you beneath the moon
And under the sun
Whether near to me or far
It's no matter, darling,
Where you are
I think of you
Day and night
Why is it so
That this longing for you
Follows wherever I go
In the roarin' traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you
Day and night
[Chorus]
Night and day
Under the hide of me
There's an oh such a hungry
Yearnin' burnin' inside of me
And its torment won't be through
'Til you let me spend my life
Making love to you
Day and night
Night and day
Night and day
You are one
Only you beneath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me or far
It's no matter, baby, where you are
I think of you
Day and night
Night and day
Why is it so
That this longing for you
Follows wherever I go
In the roarin' traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you
Day and night
[Chorus]

Night and day
The passing of time carries on, without any pause or break
You are the one
You are the only person that matters
Only you beneath the moon And under the sun
No one else in the world matters to me, only you

I don't care how close or far away you are, your presence is constantly missed
I think of you
You're constantly on my mind
Day and night
Every second of every day, without ceasing
Why is it so That this longing for you Follows wherever I go
I can't seem to shake this strong desire for you, no matter where I am or what I'm doing
In the roarin' traffic's boom, In the silence of my lonely room
Whether surrounded by commotion, or alone in quiet space, thoughts of you persist
Under the hide of me, There's an oh such a hungry Yearnin' burnin' inside of me
My deepest and most intense desires are centered around you
And its torment won't be through, 'Til you let me spend my life Making love to you

Constantly, without end
Day and night
Without interruption, always on my mind

While Sinatra's is my favorite, I really like this.
@francescaa8331
Lani's voice is just amazing. Goes from intense to that cool samba vibe.
@ime916
Delicious music and voiceβ€
@LaBarge
I like to think even Cole Porter would be impressed by their interpretation. Loved it in my college years and still love it now.

Ms. LANI HALL is sort of "Eternal" to me. I started listening to her singing in a recording (LP., Vinyl) "Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66" This was back in 1975, and I was 12 years old. Can y'all believe I am STILL listening to Ms. LANI HALL? She was THE voice of SERGIO MENDES' band. I heard that she and her husband (the great HERB ALPERT!) donated a lot of money in order to create a Music School for disadvantaged kids in New York City. BRAVO to Ms. LANI HALL Mr. HERB ALPERT! ππππππππ
@TheVinylRestorationProject
Great! Love her and Alpert together too. Here is his Mendes & Brasil '66 - esque jazzed up version of "Summertime" that we translated a few years ago: https://youtu.be/UiXUrPDfvaM.
Thanks for listening and so glad you enjoyed. I hope you keep coming back. Take care for now.
