Wave




This song is so cool! Literally! Whenever I hear this I feel like I'm in the beach, watching the waves before sunset and drinking my ice cold beer. A.C Jobim's Wave is already excellent but any bossa nova song sung by Mercedes takes it to the hilt! I really need to learn Portuguese...

Wave
by Antonio Carlos Jobim

So close your eyes, for thats 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 stars 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 that wave don't be afraid of loving me
The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together
