É PRECISO DIZER ADEUS by Antonio Carlos Jobim, new words by Joel Sattler 

 

New title: “Our Day in the Sun”

 

In our day in the sun

We were young and belonged

To each other and took them on

 

We were always so strong

We were always so good

And our love was a game we won

 

I know I should have known then

That our love had to end

 

But I still hope

We will meet again

 

Yes, I believed when the moon

Told me your secret

And you left in the dawn 

 

If you never return

If you leave me to burn

It’s not your concern

 

I still am left

with the sweet memory

Of our day in the sun

 

*****

 

If you never return

To the way that we were

I’ll still always believe in you

 

If we’re never complete

With the ones that we meet

I’ll still know what I always knew

 

I know I should have known then

That our love had to end

 

But I still hope

We will meet once again

 

Yes I believed when the moon

Told me your secret

And you left in the dawn 

 

Though our love’s obsolete

It never retreat

And never was beat

 

We still are left

with the sweet memory

Of our day in the sun

Original lyrics in Portuguese by Vinicius de Moraes

 

 

É inútil fingir

Não te quero enganar

É preciso dizer adeus

 

É melhor esquecer

Sei que devo partir

Só me resta dizer adeus

 

Ah, eu te peço perdão

Mas te quero lembrar

 

Como foi lindo

O que morreu

 

E essa beleza do amor

Que foi tão nossa

E me deixa tão só

 

Eu não quero perder

Eu não quero chorar

Eu não quero trair

 

Porque tu foste pra mim

Meu amor

Como um dia de sol

 

*****

 

É inútil fingir

Não te quero enganar

É preciso dizer adeus

 

É melhor esquecer

Sei que devo partir

Só me resta dizer adeus

 

Ah, eu te peço perdão

Mas te quero lembrar

 

Como foi lindo

O que morreu

 

E essa beleza do amor

Que foi tão nossa

E me deixa tão só

 

Eu não quero perder

Eu não quero chorar

Eu não quero trair

 

Porque tu foste pra mim

Meu amor

Como um dia de sol

When it is necessary to say goodbye...no one says it, with finality, better than the Japanese with their "sayonara"
