1. _ How Insensitive (insensatez)
Writer(s): antonio carlos jobim - ray gilbert - vinicius demoraes
How insensitive
I must have seemed
When she told me that he loved me
How unmoved and cold
I must have seemed
When she told me so sincerely
Why she must have asked
Did i just turn and stare in icy silence
What was i to say
What can you say when a love affair is over
Now she's gone away
And i'm alone with the memory of her last look
Vague and drawn and sad
I see it still
All her heartbreak in that last look
Why she must have asked
Did i just stare in icy silence
What was i to do
What can one do when a love affair is over

2. _ Quiet Nights Of Quiet Stars (corcovado)
quiet nights of quiet stars (corcovado)
Writer(s): antonio carlos jobim
Quiet nights of quiet stars quiet chords from my guitar
Floating on the silence that surrounds us.
Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams quiet walks by quiet streams
And a window that looks out on the mountains and the sea, oh how lovely
This is where i want to be here with you so close to me
Until the final flicker of life's ember.
I who was lost and lonely believing life was only
A bitter tragic joke, have found with you,
The meaning of existence, oh my love

3. _ Dindi
Writer(s): antonio carlos jobim
Sky, so vast is the sky, with far away clouds just wandering by,
Where do they go? oh i don't know, don't know;
Wind that speaks to the leaves, telling stories that no one believes,
Stories of love belong to you and to me.
Oh, dindi, if i only had words i would say all the beautiful
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 how 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 let you go away, if you take me with you.
Don't you know, dindi, i'd be running and searching for you like a river that
Can't find the sea, that would be me without you, my dindi.
Can't find the sea that would be me without you dindi.
Like a river that can't find the sea, that would be me without you, my dindi.

4. _ Meditation
Writer(s): author: antonio carlos jobim - ray gilbert
In my loneliness
When you're gone and i'm all by myself and i need your carress
I just think of you
And the thought of you holding me near
Makes my loneliness soon disappear
Though you're far away
I have only to close my eyes and you are back to stay
I just close my eyes
And the sadness that missing you brings
Soon is gone and this heart of mine sings
Yes i love you so
And that for me is all i need to know
I will wait for you till the sun falls from out of the sky
For what else can i do
I will wait for you
Meditating how sweet life will be when you come back to me

5. _ Change Partners
Must you dance every dance with the same fortunate man?
You have danced with him since the music began.
Won't you change partners and dance with me?
Must you dance quite so close with your lips touching his face?
Can't you see
I'm longing to be in his place?
Won't you change partners and dance with me?
Ask him to sit this one out. while you're alone,
I'll tell the waiter to tell him he's wanted on the telephone.
You've been locked in his arms ever since heaven-knows-when.
Won't you change partners and then,
You may never want to change partners again.

6. _ I Concentrate On You
Whenever skies look gray to me and trouble begins to brew
Whenever the winter winds become too strong
I concentrate on you
When fortune cries "nay, nay" to me
And people declare "you're through"
Whenever the blues become my only songs
I concentrate on you
On your smile, so sweet, so tender
When at first my kiss you do decline
On the light in your eyes when you surrender
And once again our arms intertwine
And so when wise men say to me
That love's young dream never comes true
To prove that even the wise men can be wrong
I concentrate on you
<instrumental to end>

7. _ Once I Loved (o Amor En Paz)
Writer(s): antonio carlos jobim - ray gilbert - vinicius demoraes
Once, once i loved
And i gave so much love to this world you were the world to me
Once i cried
At the thought i was foolish and proud and let you say goodbye
And then one day
>from my infinite sadness you came and brought me love again
Now i know
That no matter what ever befalls i'll never let you go
I will hold you close
Make you stay
Because love is the saddest thing when it goes away
Love is the saddest thing when it goes away

8. _ Girl From Ipanema, The
Writer(s): jobim/gimbel/demoraes
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, each one she passes goes - ah
When she walks, she's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gentle
That when she passes, each one she passes goes - ooh
(ooh) but i watch her so sadly
How can i tell her i love her
Yes i would give my heart gladly
But each day, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at me
Tall, (and) tan, (and) young, (and) lovely
The girl from ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, i smile - but she doesn't see (doesn't see)
(she just doesn't see, she never sees me,...)

9. _ If You Never Come To Me
Writer(s): antonio carlos jobim and ray gilbert
There's no use of a moonlight glow
Or the peaks where winter snows
Whats the use of the waves that break in the cool of the evening
What is the evening without you
Its nothing
It may be you will never come
If you never come to me
Whats the use of my wonderful dreams
And why would they need me
Where would they lead me without you
To nowhere
Whats the use of my wonderful dreams
And why would they need me
Where would they lead me without you
To nowhere

10. _ Baubles, Bangles And Beads
Baubles, bangles, hear how they jing, jinga-linga
Baubles, bangles, bright shiny beads
Sparkles, spangles, your heart will sing, singa-linga
Wearin' baubles, bangles and beads
You'll glitter and gleam so
Make somebody dream so that
Some day he may buy you a ring, ringa-linga
I've heard that's where it leads
Wearin' baubles, bangles, and beads
<instrumental>
Baubles, bangles, hear how they jing, jinga-linga
Baubles, bangles, all those bright, shiny beads
Sparkles, spangles, your heart will sing, singa-linga
Wearin' baubles, bangles, and beads
You'll, you'll glitter and gleam so
You're gonna make somebody dream so that
Some day he may, he may buy you a ring, ringa-linga
I've heard that that's where it leads
If you're wearin' baubles bangles and them cool, cool beads
