Triste lyrics?
Rich Lague
includes english words, but only one stanza of words. Listening to the
version of this song included on The Verve Jazz Masters #13 ÒAntonio Carlos
JobimÓ CD, (sung by Elis Regina,) it was obvious that there are quite a few
more verses. I would love to get english words for the remaining verses,
anyone have them? Or know where I might find them?
The verse in the New Real Book goes like this:
Sad is to live in solitude,
Far from your tranquil altitude;
Sad is to know that no one ever can live on a dream
that never can be, will never be,
Dreamer awake, wake up and see,
Your beauty is an aeroplane,
So high my heart canÕt bear the strain;
A heart that stops when you pass by,
only to cause me pain,
Sad is to live in solitude.
Thanks,
Rich Lague

In the sheet music from the album Wave, the lyrics are the same except
that there is an added verse in portuguese. I haven't dug through album
jackets (best candidate Terris Brasilis) but I can't seem to run them
down. I actually do this song, and I've always sort of treated it like a
jazz lyric. I do the first run all the way down, then I solo for awhile,
then I come back with the last iteration of the A section.
Your lucky to live in Corvalis, say I.
