Song of the Sabia

(By Antonio Carlos Jobim &

Chico Buarque

,

I'll go back, I know now that I'll go back

That my place is there and there it will always be

There where I can hear the song of the sabiá

The song of the sabiá

I'll go back, I know now that I'll go back

I will lie in the shaddow of a palm

That's no longer there

And pick a flower that doesn't grow

And may be some one's love speed the night

The lonely unwanted night

That may bring me to the new day

I'll go back, I know now that I'll go back

They were not in vain

All the plans I made to deceive myself

All the roads I made just to loose myself

All the love I made to forget myself

All tose mistakes I made just to find myself

I'll go back, I know now that I'll go back

That my place is there and there it will always be

There where I can hear the song of the sabiá

Of the sabiá
