Samba de Uma Nota Só
Tom Jobim
One Note Samba
Here is this little samba
Made with just one note
Other notes will come in
But the base is just one
This other one is a consequence
Of what I just said
As I am the inevitable consequence of you
How many people are out there
Who talk so much and say nothing
Or almost nothing
I've used the whole scale
And in the end, nothing was left
It led to nothing
And I returned to my note
Like I return to you
I will rely on my note
Like I love you
And those who want all the notes
D-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Ti-Do
Always end up with none
Stay with just one note
