So Tinha de Ser Com Voce (English)

Renato and Paul Sonnenberg unknowingly inspired me to write a singable English translation to this great Jobim song. Let me know what you think... I included the chords and lyrics below.

So Tinha De Ser Com Voce (Tom Jobim)

G7+/9 D7(#5) G7+/9 G#7+11 G+ Dm7 G7(b9) C#m7(b5)
No one can say how much love I have saved
Cm6 B7/13 E7(b9) A13 A7(#5) D7(9) G7+/9 G#7(9)
Unaware it was all meant for you


G7+/9 Am7/9 G#7(#5) G7+/9
You, it had to be with only you Am7/9 G#7(#5) G7+/9
It had to be for only you D7(#5) Dm7
Or else it would lead to more pain G13 C#m7(b5)
My heart would retreat yet again Cm6 B7/13
A love that's beyond the whole world E7(b9) A7/13
This love that I've come here to bring
A7(#5) D7(9) D7(b9) Gm/9
A love like you've never seen C7/13 F7(9) A#7/13
This love that I've come here to bring
D#7(9) A7(#5) D7(#9)
A love like you...


G7+/9 A7/13 D7(#5) G7+/9
You, your beauty was born out of blue A7(#5) G#(#5) Gm7/9
Please let me come close to this blue D7(#5) G7(9)
Won't you let me search for my peace G13 C+
By bringing your heart in my reach Cm6 B7/13
If only you knew, as I do Bb7/13 D#7+/9
That I have been yours all along D7(#9) G7
And that you were mine all along
C7/13 F7(9) A#7/13
That I have been yours all along
D#7(9) A7(#5) D7(#9) G7
And that you were mine all along

It's amazing how the vibration of this song in Portuguese, translate into English, what I could only hoped that it would say. Thank you for taking the time to make this video in English. I am delighted to know the meaning of this beautiful song. It's one of my favorites.

hello, thank you for enriching our community with your translation. this is one of the lesser known bossa nova tunes here in europe. this song is a hard nut to crack when it comes to the chords, i have tried myself to find the perfect ones and not fully succeeded yet, transcribing them based on the version sung by "os cariocas" which is in c-major... i will also check our your other videos.
