that song you used to like
that record you used to play
i don't listen to it anymore
or so i thought
that summer night
when you held me in your arms
that is when
i fell in love
in love with you

my bossa nova
when i remember it
i feel like crying
to a sweet melody
my bossa nova
sounds so quiet
if i close my eyes
i can feel that day again

at that time i thought
that record was boring
and i wanted you to
have eyes only for me

my bossa nova
it's time to remember it
the pandeiro(*) sounds
like a moonlit night
my bossa nova
and now i feel i can
leave it to the rhythm
and dance all by myself

those beautiful memories
and that worn-out record
i had long decided
i would never bring
them out again

but my bossa nova
i had known for a long time
it's beautiful but
it's a triste song
my bossa nova
only now quietly
as i try to hum it
this love song
my bossa nova
this love song
