Does anyone know the english lyrics of
A. C. Jobim's "Wave" ?
(I've got only the portuguese).

How about a trade? I have been looking for the Portuguese lyrics for this
song. Could you please post them or e-mail them to me (if you post to the
group, please include my e-mail address in the CC)? Here are the English
lyrics:

Wave

So close your eyes, for that's a lovely way to be,
Aware of things your heart alone was meant to see.
The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together

You can't deny, don't try to fight the rising sea.
Don't fight the moon, the starts above, and don't fight me.
The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together

When I saw you first, the time was half past three
When your eyes met mine it was eternity

By now we know the wave is on its way to be.
Just catch the wave, don't be afraid of loving me.
The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together

~~~~~
PS. if you have any other Portuguese lyrics to standards, please let me
know. I have Mas Que Nada, Corcovado, & Garota de Ipanema, but I would love
to sing some more of these Latin standards in the language they were meant
to be heard in.

Hi! Thanks for the lyrics.
Here are the portuguese:

WAVE
====

Vou te contar
Os olhos ja nao podem ver
Coisas que so o coracao pode entender
Fundamental e mesmo o amor
E impossivel ser feliz sozinho

O resto e mar
E tudo que nao sei contar
Sao coisas lindas
Que eu tenho pra te dar
Vem de mansinho a brisa e me diz
E impossivel ser feliz sozinho

Da primeira vez era a cidade
Da segunda o cais e a eternidade

Agora eu ja sei
Da onda que se ergueu no mar
E das estrelas que esquecemos de contar
O amor se deixa surpreender
Enquanto a noite vem nos envolver
