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.

  1. 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?
