Dindi
Dindi
Portuguese-language song by Antônio Carlos Jobim
"Dindi" (Portuguese pronunciation: [dʒĩˈdʒi]) is a song composed by Antônio Carlos Jobim, with lyrics by Aloysio de Oliveira. It is a world-famous bossa nova and jazz standard song. Jobim wrote this piece especially for the Brazilian singer Sylvia Telles. "Dindi" is a reference to a farm named "Dirindi", in Brazil, a place that Jobim and his friend/collaborator Vinicius de Moraes used to visit (according to Helena Jobim, his sister, in her book Antonio Carlos Jobim - Um Homem Iluminado).[1] In December 1966, Telles recorded this piece with the guitarist Rosinha de Valença.
- Céu, tão grande é o céu
- E bandos de nuvens que passam ligeiras
- Prá onde elas vão, ah, eu não sei, não sei.[2]
