Amor em paz

December 6, 2007

Once, once I loved
And I gave so much love to this love you were the world to me
Once I cried
At the thought I was foolish and proud and let you say goodbye

And then one day
From my infinite sadness you came and brought me love again
Now I know
That no matter what ever befalls I’ll never let you go
I will hold you close, make you stay
Because love is the saddest thing when it goes away
Love is the saddest thing when it goes away

******************************************
I do not know which I love best - Joao Gilberto’s version or Astrud’s. I have also discovered a rather old Italian artist, from the 70’s - Ornelli Vanoni. Although I do not understand the lyrics I can feel the despair and fervent hope in her voice.
