SEM VOCÊ by Antonio Carlos Jobim, new words by Joel Sattler

 

New title: “Say You Will”

 

 

Say you will

One last time

And I might understand you

 

Say you will

With a word

And I will share the blame too

 

You say there is no guessing

At all the rest

And so it goes

 

But I need to know the answer

if it’s so  

 

Maybe I

Love you still

But I can’t be sure until

 

Until we can get it straight 

I guess I’ll just have to wait

 

And so when you call 

tomorrow

Say you will

 

*******

 

You say there is no guessing

At all the rest

And so it goes

 

But I need to know the answer

if it’s so  

 

Maybe I

Love you still

But I can’t be sure until

 

Until we can get it straight 

I guess I’ll just have to wait

 

And so when you call 

tomorrow

Say you will

Original lyrics in Portuguese by Vinicius de Moraes

 

 

Sem você

Sem amor

É tudo sofrimento

 

Pois você

É o amor

Que eu sempre procurei em vão

 

Você é o que resiste

Ao desespero e à solidão

Nada existe

 

E o mundo é triste

Sem você

 

Meu amor,

meu amor

Nunca te ausentes de mim

 

Para que eu viva em paz

Para que eu não sofra mais

 

Tanta mágoa assim

No mundo

Sem você

Without her and without love, someone just missed it by a mile!
