Elis Regina - Retrato em Branco e Preto - Photograph in B&W

I dedicate this song to the memory of my brother who loved to play this endlessly. Clyde, like this song, you are a classic and the haunting strains of your life, like music, still echo in my heart. You are loved and much missed. See you in heaven, little brother.

Tom Jobim composed a wonderful melody to accompany Chico Buarque's moving lyrics; the seal of gold is placed on both by the incomparable Elis Regina whose lovely voice haunts throughout.
Brazil's legendary musical talents, exposed here for more of the world to see and enjoy.

I already know the steps of that path
and know they're leading me nowhere
Its secrets I know by heart
I already know the stones of the road
and know as well that there, alone,
I'll wind up much worse off
Oh, what can I do against the enchantment
of this love that I deny so
and avoid so
but which in the meantime
always returns to bewitch
with its same sad old facts,
that in album of photos,
I insist on collecting?

There I go again, like a fool,
seeking the desconsolation
that I tired of knowing.
New sad days,
clear nights,
poems,
letters,
My dear
that yet again I to write you
to tell you
that it's a sin
that I carry a heart so scarred
by memories of the past
and you know the reason why...
I'm going to collect yet another sonnet,
another portrait in black and white,
to mistreat my heart

I'm going to collect yet another sonnet,
another portrait in black and white,
to mistreat my heart

I will try to find something worthy of this... it will be difficult.

I'm contemplating doing another soon, though.

[morrissanford]

Oh my, how beautiful. I agree with the other poster that surely this must be one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever.

I'd love to have a high resolution version of this should you decide to post somewhere, but I understand about copyright concerns.

Again, my deepest thanks. It's moments of discovery such as this that make life such a joy.
