Initially playing in colleges, Toquinho's professional career took off in the 1960s at shows promoted by radio personality Walter Silva at the famous Paramount theater in São Paulo. He composed his first recorded song with Chico Buarque entitled "Lua Cheia" (Full Moon). His first big hit was composed in 1970 with Jorge Benjor, "Que Maravilha" (What a Wonder). That same year he was invited by Vinícius de Moraes, co-writer of the worldwide hit song "Garota de Ipanema" (The Girl from Ipanema), to participate in a series of shows in Buenos Aires, forming a solid partnership that would continue for 11 years and produce 120 songs, 25 records and over a thousand shows.
After the death of Vinícius de Moraes in 1980, he went on to pursue a solo career, often performing with other talented musicians like Paulinho da Viola, Danilo Caymmi, Paulinho Nogueira and Chico Buarque. He continues to record and play.

Toquinho Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Onde anda você?
Onde anda os seus olhos
Que a gente não vê
Onde anda esse corpo?
Que me deixou morto
De tanto prazer
Onde anda a canção?
Que se ouvia na noite
Dos bares de então
Onde a gente ficava
Onde a gente se amava
Em total solidão
Hoje eu saio na noite vazia
Numa boemia
Sem razão de ser
Da rotina dos bares
Que apesar dos pesares
Me trazem você
E por falar em paixão
Em razão de viver
Você bem que podia
Me aparecer
Nesses mesmos lugares
Na noite, nos bares
Onde anda você?
Hoje eu saio Na noite vazia
Numa boemia Sem razão de ser
Da rotina dos bares
Que apesar dos pesares
Me trazem você
E por falar em paixão
Em razão de viver
Você bem que podia
Me aparecer
Nesses mesmos lugares
Na noite, nos bares
Onde anda você?
The lyrics of Toquinho's song Onde Anda Você express feelings of nostalgia and longing for someone who has disappeared. The opening lines are a rhetorical question, "E por falar em saudade, onde anda você?" which translates to "Speaking of missing someone, where are you?" The singer wonders where this person is and what they are doing, particularly where their eyes and body are. The second stanza reminisces about the beauty of the past, particularly the music heard in nightclubs where they used to go to be alone together. The stanza ends with the singer longing for that same person to return to them. The third stanza repeats the first one, with the longing for the return of the person felt more strongly. The final stanza repeats the second, with the singer wishing for the person's return, in the same places where they used to be together before.

Where is the song?
Que se ouvia na noite
That was heard at night

Where we used to love each other
Em total solidão
In total loneliness
Hoje eu saio na noite vazia
Today I go out in the empty night
Numa boemia
In a bohemian lifestyle
Sem razão de ser
Without a reason to be
Da rotina dos bares
From the routine of bars

Despite everything
Me trazem você
Bring you to mind

For the sake of living
Você bem que podia

Nesses mesmos lugares
In the same places
Na noite, nos bares
At night, in the bars
Onde anda você?

Here goes a rough translation: "And just to talk about memories
Where are you about now?
Where are your eyes, that I cannot see
Where is your body
that drove me crazy in pleasure
And just to talk about beauty
Where is the song that
we heard in the nights in those bars those days
Where people hang out
Where you and I could love
in complete solitude
Today I walk the lonely night
in a bohemia just without any thought
In the old routine of the bars
that regardless of all
still reminds me of you
And just to talk about passion
and the reason to live
you could really appear
In the very same places
in the night, in the bars"

Hope to help ... you should know the lyrics as well! They are as beautiful as the song so I did my best here trying to capture the gist if the song! Enjoy ;)
And talking about 'saudade'
where are you?
Where are your eyes
That we cant see them anymore
where is that body
That killed me with so much desire
And talking about beauty
Where is the song
We used to listen during the night
From the pubs where we used to be
where we used to love each other
In total solitude
Now I walk through the empty night
In a bohemian with no reason to be
In the pub's routine
That even though the regrets
Bring you back to me
And talking about love
about reason to live
you might as well show up
at that same places
At night, in the pubs
where you are ....

Since we are talking about missing
Where have you being?
Where have being your eyes
That we no longer see?
Where have being your body that
had killed me with so much pleasure?
Since we are talking about beauty
Where are the song that we heard in the night
In the bars from the past where we used to stay
Where we used to love each other alone
Today I go out in a empty night
In an meaningless Bohemia
In the routine of bars
That despite of the regrets
They bring me you
Since we are talking about passion
In reason to live
You could very well appear
In this very same places
In the night
In the bars
Wherever you've being
