[English lyrics] Influenced by music from a young age by her record store owner father, Gal Costa became one of Brazil's foremost female tropicalismo movement singers and guitar players during the late 1960s and 70s. Along with her friend Maria Bethânia, she became a political activist often coming into conflict with Brazil's government when dissent in music was censored.

In 1999, Gal Costa pointed her work in the direction of a safe harbor: Tom Jobim; looking for refuge in the beautiful music of Bossa Nova. The show opened in São Paulo, where the double CD and a DVD was recorded. The album was named "Gal Costa Canta Tom Jobim ao Vivo".

And because of this show, Gal traveled for a year overseas and to the great cities of Brazil, always singing to large audiences. Tom Jobim, who had passed in 1994, would have approved.

Falando de Amor (Words of Love) lyrics (English translation by Paul Sonnenberg):

If I could give you some sweet someday
All this love, this joy for one day
Well I'm certain I'd find someway
To make every day just like that one day

So come closer, have no fear, love,
Closer still, don't stand apart
There's a secret you should hear, love
Hidden here in this song of the heart

If you knew how much it moves me
Your sweet scent and your dear, loving ways
Then you'd give your kisses to me
I who've given my whole heart away

Flutes are weeping, cellos crying
And the singer sheds a tear
Sobbing low and gently sighing
Through the soft words of love that you hear

You're so lovely as you go there
Through the sunlight that brightens your way
My soul follows, heaven knows where
Even soccer can't call me away

So come quickly, have no fear, love,
I commend my soul to you
Hidden in this song you hear, love
From the depths of my heart straight to you
From the depths of my heart straight to you

Falando de Amor lyrics:

Se eu pudesse por um dia
Esse amor, essa alegria
Eu te juro, te daria
Se pudesse esse amor todo dia
Chega perto, vem sem medo
Chega mais meu coração
Vem ouvir esse segredo
Escondido num choro canção
Se soubesses como eu gosto
Do teu cheiro, teu jeito de flor
Não negavas um beijinho
A quem anda perdido de amor
Chora flauta, chora pinho
Choro eu o teu cantor
Chora manso, bem baixinho
Nesse choro falando de amor

Quando passas, tão bonita
Nessa rua banhada de sol
Minha alma segue aflita
E eu me esqueço até do futebol
Vem depressa, vem sem medo
Foi pra ti meu coração
Que eu guardei esse segredo
Escondido num choro canção
Lá no fundo do meu coração
