Astrud Gilberto - Dindi video free download

SIDE TWO (Track 01) - written by Antônio Carlos Jobim and Ray Gilbert

"The Astrud Gilberto Album" is the first album recorded by Astrud Gilberto, hot off the success from guesting on the landmark jazz album "Getz/Gilberto" (1964), a collaborative project between tenor saxophonist and her husband, the famous Brazilian guitarist/bossa nova pioneer João Gilberto.

Although, Gilberto had never performed professionally, she was requested by her husband to sing in the English verses written for the album's tracks. One of these cuts was "The Girl from Ipanema", a song that would forever be immortalized by her voice, and a rendition that would be the definitive recording of that song. The single sold over one million copies and helped established her as a bossa nova darling and a pop culture superstar. The rest, we can say, is history.

A recording contract was set, and a solo album was immediately made to strike while the iron is summer hot. This was the result.

Released in 1965 by Verve Records.

LYRICS

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
