Meditation (English)

Three for three. Here's one last Jobim translation from me. Thanks to Paul for the suggestions. I'm open to more!

Gmaj7 Gdim Gmaj7
You, who once believed in love and laughter and faith
Bm7 Bb7b5
How you dreamed and dreamed
Am+7 Am Cm7 F9
Did you lose your peace
Bm7 E7b9
When love and laughter and faith
Am11 D9
Left without warning one day?


Gmaj7 Gdim
Whose unbroken heart
Gmaj7
Became home to infinite sadness
Bm7 Bb7b5
When all you loved got lost?
Am+7 Am Cm7 F9
Did your loneliness
Bm7 E7b9
Lead you down a thousand long roads
Am11 D9
In search of a sliver of hope?

C#m7b5 Cm6
Who has cried so long
Bm7 Bbdim Am D9
And wept so hard they've no more tears at all?

Gmaj7 Gdim
Who one day returned
Gmaj7
To love and laughter and faith
Bm7 Bb7b5
in time to find your way
Am+7 Am Cm7 F9
Now your heart's prepared
Bm7 E7b9 Am7
to bring kindness, compassion and hope
D9 Gmaj7
to a world in despair

This is a fantastic song :) Have you considered trying Outra Vez by Jobim?

[Peris430]

Linda demais essa moça cantando , imprime muita emoção em sua expressão facial na voz e no violão .Essa valoriza de verdade a música Brasileira , me arrepia vendo ela tocar .

Parabéns moça bonita !!!Sou seu fã e venho te acompanhando pela internet juntamente com sua turma (Mercedezzz , Tiny band e Saravah Bossa).

Beijos e continue com esse jeito lindo !!!

я так растрогался думал как хорошо талантливо с душой девушка не проф. музыкант сыграла Синатру, поставил под впечатлением пятую звезду. Потом посмотрел по ссылкам она оказывается не первый день этим занимается, проф. гитаристка - хоть бы не пыталась петь тогда!
