Doralice (D. Caymmi - A. Almeida) - By JR

This beautiful song written by Dorival Caymmi an Antonio Almeida is dedicated to my good friend Alice...a late gift for her birthday :-)...and of course to all of you, music lovers who are watching!

Here are the lyrics:


Doralice eu bem que lhe disse
Amar é tolice, é bobagem, ilusão
Eu prefiro viver tão sozinho
Ao som do lamento do meu violão

Doralice eu bem que lhe disse
Olha essa embrulhada em que vou me meter
Agora amor, Doralice meu bem
Como é que nós vamos fazer?

Um belo dia você me surgiu
Eu quis fugir mas você insistiu
Alguma coisa bem que andava me avisando
Até parece que eu estava adivinhando

Eu bem que não queria me casar contigo
Bem que não queria enfrentar esse perigo Doralice
Agora você tem que me dizer
Como é que nós vamos fazer?

The singer is telling his lover, Doralice, that he didn't want to fall in love with her, because love is an illusion; he'd prefer to live alone, only to the moaning sound of his guitar...he tried to run away from her love but she wouldn't let him go and now he is in trouble because he can not deny the love he feels for her.

Bro, I love everything you've ever posted but this one takes the cake for me... I find myself singing this throughout my day and I don't even know french, and I've certainly never heard this one before... Thanks for turning me on to something wonderful I wouldn't have otherwise have known about. *tips hat* Much obliged for all your music, Sir

[StillJreming]

@earthlyradiodotcom Thanks a bunch for the compliment...the language in this song is close enough to French indeed...it is Portuguese, another latin language...if you really enjoyed this, you should listen to Joao Gilberto...he is the ultimate master of this style, called Bossa Nova and born in Brazil from multiple influences (African musical roots, Brazilian Samba, Jazz chords, etc...)

Cheers!

Hola, me gusta tu interpretación ¿sería mucho pedir que me mandes los acordes?

Olá, eu gosto da sua interpretação seria pedir muito para me enviar as acordes?

[StillJreming]

@ioyaneder Olá ioyaneder ... muito obrigado pelo cumprimento :-) No problem, I can send you the chords...they are taken from the book "Bossa Nova Songbook" by Almir Chediak, with a few modifications I made...just send me an e-mail address where I can forward them to you!...Até logo

Muito legal. Música linda e muito bem tocada por você. O violão do João Gilberto, as músicas dos Beatles, a guitarra do Eric Clapton e do Hendrix são as grandes influências da música para todos que vieram depois e será sempre assim, acho que nunca apareçerá outros músicos tão influêntes.

You play your guitar with precision and softness...the soul that you put into your music comes from your tune... I love your music,I love listening to you play. :)

@StillJreming bonjour, Bravo pour votre interprétation! Ca swingue comme Gilberto Gil. J'essaie de jouer ce morceau depuis longtemps mais sans trouver le bon rythme. Pourriez-vous m'indiquer quel rythme vous jouez car je n'arrive pas à capter en vous écoutant. Ce serait très sympa. Je vous remercie pour votre amabilité

um... wow... superb talent!

[LavaLampBlob]

Fantastic! If Getz were present with his sax I might actually believe this was from the Getz/Gilberto albumn, its that good.

Will check him out for sure! I've always really loved the song "Girl from Iponema" which I believe would be considered bossa nova, but haven't been exposed much to the genre otherwise.. Thanks for the recommendation I will set aside some time to listen to some Joao Gilberto soon!
