Studio recordings in Utrecht

We recorded three songs of which the first is "The girl from Ipanema" from Tom Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes:

Garota de Ipanema (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)

Olha que coisa mais linda
Mais cheia de graça
É ela, menina
Que vem e que passa
Num doce balanço
A caminho do mar

Moça do corpo dourado
Do sol de Ipanema
O seu balançado é mais que um poema
É a coisa mais linda
que eu já vi passar

Ah, por que estou tão sozinho?
Ah, por que tudo é tão triste?
Ah, a beleza que existe
A beleza que não é só minha
Que também passa sozinha

Ah, se ela soubesse
Que quando ela passa
O mundo inteirinho se enche de graça
E fica mais lindo
Por causa do amor

The girl from (The girl from Ipanema)

Tall and tanned
and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema
goes walking
And when she passes,
each one she passes goes: A-a-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: A-a-ah!

Oh, 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 tanned and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes I smile, but she doesn't see
She just doesn't see
No, she doesn't see
