In memoriam
DORIVAL CAYMMI

Born 4/30/1914 Salvador, BA
Died 8/16/2008 Rio de Janeiro, RJ

I couldn't manage to sing the lyrics properly, so here they are.

Ai, ai que saudade eu tenho da Bahia
Ai, se eu escutasse o que mamãe dizia
"Bem, não vá deixar a sua mãe aflita
A gente faz o que o coração dita
Mas esse mundo é feito de maldade e ilusão"
Ai, se eu escutasse hoje não sofria
Ai, esta saudade dentro do meu peito
Ai, se ter saudade é ter algum defeito
Eu pelo menos, mereço o direito
De ter alguém com quem eu possa me confessar
Ponha-se no meu lugar
E veja como sofre um homem infeliz
Que teve que desabafar
Dizendo a todo mundo o que ninguém diz
Vejam que situação
E vejam como sofre um pobre coração
Pobre de quem acretida
Na glória e no dinheiro para ser feliz

  • ops... eu vi umas notas podres...

  • Ah, yet another discovery! Gotta love Youtube. Beautiful ...

  • The self-proclaimed "lazy" musician... my idol. I imagine he and his wife (who died a few days later) lazily enjoying a caiperinha in the sky.

  • Great tribute to Caymmi! He was a simple man that loved simple things of the life . And I think the simple things of the life are that really give us the happyness!

    Agradecimentos deste brasileiro que é seu fan.

  • Beautiful tune ... Dorival Caymmi for ever .... Great job Swingbossa

  • Thank you for your beatiful tribute, it's really sensitive. We are very sad about Dorival's death. But I'm sure, his great music will live forever...

  • i've been listening to a lot of Dorival these days. and I very much like your version here. thanks for doing that.

  • Please consider it high praise when I say your suitcase organ sounds like an accordion. I like it very much. That and the spare room storage ambiance give me more saudade than Portuguese lyric I can't quite understand.
