(A.C. Jobin, N. Gimbel, C. Baurque)

[Recorded Febrary 13, 1969, Hollywod]



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 Sabia.

I'll go back, I know now that I'll go back, I will lie in the shadow of

A palm that's no longer there, and pick a flower that doesn't grow.

And maybe someone's love will speak the night.

The lonely unwanted light that may bring me through the new day.

I'll go back, I know now that I'll go back, they won't be in vain,

All the plans I made to deceive myself, all the rose I made just to lose myself,

All the love I made to forget myself, those 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 Sabia.

Of the Sabia.
