Nosso Mar (Our Sea)

When you come my way,
Once in a while,
You swing and sway, so wild.
When you come my way,
When you loosen up with grace,
When you pass me by,
Showing your race,
You arouse in me a dim
Desire to sing Jobim.
When you go away,
My mouth waters, without delay.
Once in a while, our hearts cling,
Making my guitar sing.
When, at last,
You have a chance
To rest,
You invite me to join the dance
Which will lead to a grand finale:
An immense Mardi Gras festival!
Won?t you take
My girlish love?
Won?t you make
Part of my dreams?
I?m mad about you, it seems.
Show me how to dance
A perfect samba,
Please, come fast,
Come dance
Chest to chest!
You swing you body, holding mine,
In this samba, our eyes shine,
I dream of making love to you,
Our bodies melting into one, that?s true…
You are great, you are unique
At dancing to the drumbeat.
When the tambourine joins in,
All this love would have been
Far too great to fit within!
When you leave me behind
Don?t forget, ever,
Keep in mind
That love is forever
While it lasts?
And when you hear
The drumbeat call
You will recall
Our love, our sea!
Come, my Brazil,
Come, my Athena!
You make me feel
Like singing to Elis Regina!
Show me how to dance
A perfect samba,
Please, come fast,
Come dance
Chest to chest!
