All of these Jobim tunes can be heard with their original lyrics on youtube.

None of the versions with my lyrics have been recorded yet....

MEDITAÇÃO by Antonio Carlos Jobim and Newton Mendonça,
With new English lyrics by Joel Sattler


Just the thought of you
Is the one thing that’s left in my life
That is utterly true  
I believe in you
But I can’t tell what happiness is
Till I find out what heaven forbids

You who have seen through the tears
knowing what was inside of your heart
you held on for years
We all dream of love
but perfection is hard to conceive
the illusion of our make-believe

What we have is real
But forever’s just a word that children say

I’ll come back to you
Even if I’m a whole world away
And if our days are few
I will come back for you
Even if it’s the last thing I do
Just to be with you


___________________________________________


Portuguese lyrics by Tom Jobim:

Quem acreditou
no amor no sorriso e na flor
Entao sonhou sonhou,
E perdeu a paz,
pois o amor o sorriso e a flor
Se transformam depressa demais
Quem no coração
abrigou a tristeza de ver
tudo isso se perder
E na solidão procurou o caminho e seguiu
ja descrente de um dia feliz
Quem chorou chorou
e tanto que o seu pranto ja secou.
Quem depois voltou
ao amor ao sorriso e a flor
então tudo encontrou
pois a propria dor
revelou o caminho do amor
e a tristeza acabou.

The nearest Basilian song will ever come to the Portuguese Fado, and yet...
