Bebel Gilberto - August Day Song lyrics

rate me

(Lyrics by Bebel Gilberto, Nina Miranda, Chris Franck)

Tentei contar

Tentei cantar

Tentei just la la la ia

Tentei tocar

Também dançar

Assim, só para deixar

Só quero te dar

Se te falar

Se te just la la la ia

Só quero estar

Com seu cantar

Com seu just la la la ia

Just like this rainstorm

This August day song

I dream of places far beyond

Ouvindo a chuva cair

No cinza um brilho aqui

Fico sózinha, distraída

Mesmo tom

Mesmo som

Como é bom, tão bom

Just like this rainstorm

This August day song

I dream of places far beyond

Ouvindo a chuva cair

No pé um pingo aqui

Fico sózinha, tão distraída

Não vou chorar

Quando lembrar

Do seu eterno olhar

I like to sing

And do these things

With you just prá variar

I hear your voice

I sing for choice

With you just la la la ia

Translation:

I've tried to tell

I've tried to sing

I've tried just la la la ia

I've tried to play

And also dance

Like this, just to let it go

I just want to give you

If I tell you

If just la la la ia

I just want to be

With your singing

With you just la la la ia

Just like this rainstorm

This August day song

I dream of places far beyond

Hearing the rain fall

From the grey, a shining here

I stay alone, distracted

Same tone

Same sound

How It's good, so good

Just like the rainstorm

This August day song

I dream of places far beyond

Hearing the rain fall

A drop here in my foot

I stay alone, so distracted

I am not gonna cry

When remembering

Your eternal glance

I like to sing

And do these things

With you just for a change

I hear your voice

I sing for choice

With you just la la la ia
