Dindi
Tom Jobim/Astrud Gilberto Lyrics

Sky, so vast is the sky, with far away clouds just wandering by,
The sky is incredibly wide, and clouds move aimlessly without a direction.

Where do they go? oh I don't know, don't know;
The singer is unsure where the clouds eventually travel to.

Wind that speaks to the leaves, telling stories that no one believes,
The wind whispers to the plants, but the tales it tells are unbelievable.

Stories of love belong to you and to me.
Despite the wind's unreliable narrations, the lovers share a story of true love.

Oh, dindi, if I only had words I would say all the beautiful
The singer is so enamored by their love that they are at a loss for words.

Things that I see when you're with me, oh my dindi.
Being around the loved one fills them with contentment and joy.

Oh dindi, like the song of the wind in the trees, that's how my heart is
The songwriter compares their emotions to the sound of the wind rustling through leaves.

Singing dindi, happy dindi, when you're with me.
With the beloved, the singer is filled with positive energy and joy.

I love you more each day, yes I do, yes I do;
The singer expresses their growing love for their partner.

I'd let you go away, if you take me with you.
The singer would follow their love anywhere, even if it meant leaving everything behind.

Don't you know, dindi, I'd be running and searching for you like a river that
If separated, the singer would be desperately trying to find their loved one, like a river searching for the sea.

Can't find the sea, that would be me without you, my dindi.
Without their love, the singer feels lost and incomplete, like a river without a destination.

Can't find the sea that would be me without you dindi.
The repetition of the line emphasizes how integral the lover is to the singer's happiness.
