Carta ao Tom 74 [English translation]

Nascimento Silva Street, 107

You were teaching Elizete

The songs for 'canção do amor demais'*

Remember what happy times, oh such wistfulness

Ipanema was nothing but happiness

It felt as if love ached in peace

Our famous girl didn't even know

To what extent our city would muddle

This Rio of love that was forgotten

Even the sadness of people used to be more beautiful

And besides that one could see through the window

A little corner of heaven and the Redeemer

And well, my friend, only one certainty remains

It is necessary to put an end to that sadness

It is necessary to discover love once again
