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!
