[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".

The highlights of this work are the excellent recordings of Derradeira Primavera, Bonita, and Por causa de Você. 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.

Bonita (Pretty) Lyrics

What can I say to you Bonita
What magic words would capture you
Like a soft evasive mist you are Bonita
You fly away when love is new.

What do you ask of me Bonita
What part do you want me to play
Shall I be the clown for you Bonita
I will be anything you say.

Bonita
Don't run away Bonita
Bonita
Don't be afraid to fall in love with me

I love you
I tell you I love you, I love you
Bonita

If you love me
Life will be beautiful
Bonita

I love you
I tell you I love you
I love you
Bonita

If you love me
Life will be beautiful
Bonita, Bonita, Bonita
Bonita, Bonita, Bonita
