AMOR EM PAZ by Antonio Carlos Jobim, new words by Joel Sattler
In the wind
I pretend that I hear the goodbyes
of all the girls I loved
How or when
It all comes back to me in a dream,
back at the fall of time
Who am I?
Did I really deserve all the loving
and did I give enough?
No regrets
but I wish I could wish them all well
at least for one last time
just for one last time
one last time
because my love was so real while it lasted
and I loved them all
In the end
an old man walks alone on the shore
with nothing but the past
nothing but the past
just the past
listening for the lost memory of voices
voices in the wind
listening for the lost memory of voices
voices in the wind

Original lyrics in Portuguese by Vinícius de Moraes
aka “O Amor em Paz”
Eu Amei,
e amei ai de mim muito mais,
do que devia amar.
E chorei,
ao sentir que iria sofrer,
e me desesperar.
Foi então,
que da minha infinita tristeza,
aconteceu você.
Encontrei,
em você a razão de viver,
e de amar em paz.
E não sofrer mais,
nunca mais.
Porque o amor,
é a coisa mais triste
quando se desfaz.
Porque o amor,
é a coisa mais triste,
quando se desfaz.
.
Man, really, he never had a chance!
Georg
