Little Black Book: Doralice



Stan Getz & João Gilberto: Doralice

[purchase]

The only line in this song I can make out is "Doralice, you're making me dizzy." Nevertheless, classic song.

Great album. Good pick.

Sadly, it turns out he actually says "Doralice, eu bem que te disse".

Here's the bad English translation from the Portuguese:

Doralice, I thought you said

Love is stupidity, is silly, illusion

I prefer to live alone as
At the sound of regret of my guitar

Doralice, I thought you said

Look at this mess that I'll get
Now love, and my Doralice

How do we do?
One fine day I came to you

I wanted to flee but you insisted

Something good that I walked warning

So it seems that I was guessing

I am glad that I did not want to marry you

Well that did not want to confront this danger, Doralice
Now you have to tell me
How do we do?

That translation makes me dizzy!
