Starting her professional career at 19 with Wanda Vagamente (1964), one of the earliest arranging assignments by Eumir Deodato, Sá launched "Inútil Paisagem" (Tom Jobim/Aloysio de Oliveira) and the earliest compositions by Edú Lobo, Francis Hime, and Marcos Valle. The album, launched at the Fino da Bossa show (at the Paramount Theater in São Paulo), was a success (having been reissued in Japan in the decade of the 2000s) and had a hit with "Vagamente" (Roberto Menescal/Ronaldo Bôscoli). By the end of the same year, she joined Sérgio Mendes' Brasil '65 (with Rosinha de Valença and Jorge Ben Jor), realizing successful shows in Brazil and the U.S., where Brasil '65 was recorded (with the participation of Bud Shank and the Sérgio Mendes Trio). She also recorded in the U.S. the solo Softly and performed both in Brazil and the U.S. with the Sérgio Mendes Trio. In 1966, she returned to Brazil where she did shows with Baden Powell, Vinícius de Moraes, Mièle, Luís Carlos Vinhas, and the Bossa 3. In 1969, Sá participated in Paul Desmond's Hot Summer. Married to Edú Lobo from 1969 to 1982, a period in which she left the scene, Sá returned in the late '80s, performing shows with Roberto Menescal and Mièle, recording Brasileiras in 1994 with Célia Vaz. In 2000, she recorded with Luís Carlos Vinhas, Tião Neto, and João Cortez the CD Wanda Sá & Bossa Três with bossa nova classics and new compositions. Four successful seasons at the Sabbata Tokyo turned the CD Wanda Vagamente into a hit, having reached second place on the top charts. In 2001, she participated with Roberto Menescal, Marcos Valle, and Danilo Caymmi in the Fare Festival (Pavia, Italy).

So Nice
Wanda Sá Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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, to 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 then give his heart to me
Someone who's ready to give love a start with me

Oh yes
That would be so nice, nice
Should it be you and me
I could see it could be nice

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 then give his heart to me
Someone who's ready to give love a start with me

Oh yes
That would be so nice, nice




Should it be you and me
I could see it could be nice

This was the re-issue, of course. Still as spellbinding, though.

@shariallison5579

@cliftonboyz1959

That horrid sound are their mediocre vocal chords being squeezed through a tube of toothpaste..😂

@shariallison5579

@CarolynK26 thank you for having such good taste too...thanks for the information about Lani Hall and Sergio Mendez and Brazil 66...I think I had most of their albums up to Brazil 77 and then they changed .
