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

Oh yes, that would be so nice, nice
Shouldn′t we, you and me?
I could see it would 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
And give his heart to me
Someone who's ready to
Give love a start with me

Oh yes, life would be so nice, nice




Shouldn't we, you and me?
I can see it would be nice

Overall Meaning

The song "So Nice" by Wanda Sá is a plea for companionship and love. The first two lines set the stage for the rest of the song, as the singer yearns for someone to hold her tight and love her right. The lyrics then move to the desire for someone who can understand her dreams and aspirations and take her hand to be a team with her. The idea of team-work and partnership is central to the meaning of the song, as the singer values the idea of having someone to cling to, stay with her in good times and in bad, and sing her a samba song.


The chorus of the song repeats the sentiment of the opening verse, stating that life would be so nice if she found someone who she could samba through life with. The singer then goes on to describe the type of love she desires - someone who is willing to give his heart to her, who is ready to start a journey of love with her. The song ends with the singer asking the listener if they think that love would be nice for them and for her.


Overall, this song beautifully captures the longing for love and companionship that is a fundamental part of the human experience. The use of samba as the musical genre adds an element of Brazil's culture into the song, adding to the enjoyment of the listener.

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

@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 .
