Sergio Mendes left us on September 6th and I only just found out. Decided to listen to this amazing album in his memory.

    Despite the reputation of the song, the lyrics are a little bit cryptic.

    I honestly do not know what the lyrics mean in English and I’m honestly fine with that. In fact, if I find out, I might not like it as much. That’s happened to me before.

      Same!

      You find an upbeat song that is really catchy, then you find out it is a really dark song when you see translated lyrics.

      I still add it to my playlist though!

        Finding out it’s really stupid can be worse. “Oh, this beautiful song is about how the chick in the bikini has amazing tits? Great.”

            I guess it depends on the song. Like sometimes you are cool with it and sometimes that song that brought tears to your eyes is suddenly a lot less poignant to you.

              Ah, you are right.

              That would really change my perspective and feelings about the song!

              It has happened to me a few times, but such is life!
