SE É POR FALTA DE ADEUS by Antonio Carlos Jobim, new words by Joel Sattler

 

New title: “If That’s Just How It Is”

 

If that’s just how it is

The way we came together

Then that’s just how it is

The way it fell to pieces 

 

Said she was leaving

She knew I was grieving

and walked out of the door anyway

but what I was sure of

Was she’d be returning

Somehow or some when or some day

 

I’d been six years alone

When she gave me a ringing

Said she’d misdialed the phone

But we talked until the spring

 

Some day at a party

We’ll come as we are 

She will say hi to me with a kiss

And then we’ll know 

Without doubt

If it’s over at last

If that’s just how it is

Original lyrics in Portuguese by Dolores Duran

 

 

Se é por falta de adeus

Vá se embora desde já

Se é por falta de adeus

Não precisa mais ficar

 

Seus olhos vivem dizendo

O que você teima em querer esconder

A tarde parece que chora

Com pena de ver

Este sonho morrer

 

Não precisa iludir

Nem fingir e nem chorar

Não precisa dizer

O que eu não quero escutar

 

Deixe meus olhos vazios

Vazios de sonhos

E dos olhos seus

Não é preciso ficar

Nem querer enganar

Só por falta de adeus

 

 

My version is based on a recording by Joao Gilberto:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IiLnPGtDyw

Around Brasilia city when it was bulldozer's domains, the tunes from Rio took the Copacabana dreams a little more near, to the heart of the Matto Grosso.
