Letter to Tom 74

Carta Ao Tom 74

Nascimento Silva Street, one-oh-sevenRua Nascimento Silva, cento e sete
You teaching ElizeteVocê ensinando pra elizete
The songs of love, oh so sweetAs canções de canção do amor demais
Remember those happy times? Ah, what a longing!Lembra que tempo feliz? Ah, que saudade!
Ipanema was pure joyIpanema era só felicidade
It was like love was at peaceEra como se o amor doesse em paz

Our famous girl didn’t even knowNossa famosa garota nem sabia
How much the city would cloud overA que ponto a cidade turvaria
This river of love that got lostEsse rio de amor que se perdeu
Even our sadness was more beautifulMesmo a tristeza da gente era mais bela
And besides that, you could see from the windowE além disso se via da janela
A little piece of heaven and the RedeemerUm cantinho de céu e o redentor

Yeah, my friend, there's only one certainty leftÉ, meu amigo, só resta uma certeza
We need to put an end to this sadnessÉ preciso acabar com essa tristeza
We need to reinvent love againÉ preciso inventar de novo o amor

Our famous girl didn’t even knowNossa famosa garota nem sabia
How much the city would cloud overA que ponto a cidade turvaria
This river of love that got lostEsse rio de amor que se perdeu
Even our sadness was more beautifulMesmo a tristeza da gente era mais bela

And besides that, you could see from the windowE além disso se via da janela
A little piece of heaven and the RedeemerUm cantinho de céu e o redentor
Yeah, my friend, there's only one certainty leftÉ, meu amigo, só resta uma certeza
We need to put an end to this sadnessÉ preciso acabar com essa tristeza
We need to reinvent love againÉ preciso inventar de novo o amor
