Estate by Joao Gilberto

dangervich Says:

May 24, 2009 - Part 2:Another winter comes andAll the petals dying on the roseA thousand petals lie beneath the snow—At least perhaps some peace might come again.Ah, summer—You gave your fragrant scent to every flowerAnd filled us with a love of so much powerSo I could slowly perish in its pain!© Dan Goorevitch 2006

Nov 24, 2009 - John Hendrick wrote english lyrics.Claude Nougaro wrote french lyrics but these lyrics had no connection with the original italian lyrics (Nougaro tells an autobiographic love affair when he was teenager).

Nov 4, 2010 - your translation should have had more positive comments. It captured the essence of the original poem and even lent the English language a generous portion of the latin warmth.DiVernieri

dangervich Says:

dangervich Says:

Nov 4, 2010 - that makes sense: summer reminds him of his suffering

Jan 23, 2011 - I first heard this song sung by Shirley Horn, and I have to say that both Shirley's version and Joao's version (which is the original, right) are so amazing in different ways. Joao blessed the world with such beautiful music!
