It would be truly awesome if we could have someone do a version of "I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face" with Portugese lyrics. I admire all artists and musicians and their attempts to improvise on some new tunes. Ivan Lins, Djavan, and Joao Donato Tunes are among my favorites.
You still amaze me swingbossa. Can you do one of my Tom Jobim favorites?.. Estrada Branca (This Happy Madness). I play this song in the Key of B. Obrigado!
Oh yes, I know that this "translation" isn't very close to the portuguese. However, the English lyrics aren't bad, and I think they capture a bit of the same spirit as the original lyrics, unlike some other English lyrics to Brasilian songs. I'm thinking of Jon Hendricks's lyrics to Desafinado, which are completely separate from the original. Gene Lees, however, did a nice job of providing a singable version of that great song in English.
Bela voz! Nice voice!

I do like that song too. I'll put it on the list, but things are busy right now, so I'm not sure when I'll get to it.
