Tom Jobim
Dindi (Gal Costa Live) lyrics

Português (Primeira parte/First half):

Céu, tão grande é o céu!
E um bando de nuvens que passam ligeiras
Pra onde elas vão, ah! eu não sei, não sei.
E o vento que fala nas folhas
Contando as histórias que são de ninguém
Mas que minhas e de você também
Ai, Dindi! Se soubesses o bem que eu te quero,
Como não seria, Dindi?
Tudo, Dindi, lindo Dindi.
Ai Dindi, se um dia você for embora
Me leva contigo, Dindi.
Fica, Dindi! Olha, Dindi!

E as águas desse rio
Onde vão, eu não sei.
E a minha vida inteira, esperei, esperei.

Por você, Dindi, que é a coisa mais linda que existe!
Você não é existe, Dindi.
Deixa, Dindi, que eu te adore, Dindi.


English (Second half/Segunda parte):

Oh! Dindi, if I only had words I would say
All the beutiful things that I see
When you're with me, oh! My Dindi

Oh! Dindi, like the song of the wind in the trees
That's all my heart is singing, Dindi.
Happy, Dindi, when you're with me.

I love you more each day
Yes I do, yes I do!
I'd like to go away if you take me with you

Don't you know, Dindi?
I'll be running and searching for you
Like a river that can't find the sea
That would be me without you, my Dindi.

Without you, my Dindi
Dindi
