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
