POR TÔDA MINHA VIDA by Antonio Carlos Jobim,

new words by Joel Sattler

She was someone special

She was young and full of light and hope and laughter

I knew better, should left her to her future

But we told each other it was forever after

we did our best to make it work

But one day it shattered

She must have realized was hopeless

Now lie sleepless and with a myst’ry

I’ll never know I’ll never know

I wonder if she really loved me

I’ll never know

Original lyrics in Portuguese by Vinicius de Moraes

Minha bem amada
Quero fazer de um juramento uma canção
Eu prometo, por toda a minha vida
Ser somente teu e amar-te como nunca
Ninguém jamais amou, ninguém
Minha bem amada
Estrela pura, aparecida

Eu te amo e te proclamo
O meu amor, o meu amor
Maior que tudo quanto existe

O meu amor
