Conrado Paulino & Rosa Passos: Eu Sei Que Vou Te Amar

Heavenly!

Nothing could be more appropriate to celebrate Valentine’s Day with this tranquil rendition of Antônio Carlos Jobim and Vinícius de Moraes’ “Eu Sei Que Vou Te Amar.” In October of 2012, Conrado Paulino invited Rosa Passos to join him at the TV program  Talentos (TV Câmara, Brasília). The result speaks for itself. What is truly even more amazing is the fact the artists did not rehearse this rendition at all. Conrado told me that that the night before the program recording, he spoke with Rosa by phone and talked about what they’d perform. It was agreed that it’d be “Eu Sei Que Vou Te Amar.” They discussed the key she’d sing, but he was puzzled about the key choice. He remembered her recording with Ron Carter (Entre Amigos) in a different key. When they arrived at the studio, just seconds before the recording started, he changed his mind and played it the way we hear it. It is a magnificent rendition with these two talented musicians. Enjoy the video. Incidentally, if you go to Conrado Paulino’s YouTube channel, you can see another recording he did that same day with Rosa Passos. Again, it was another spur-of-the-moment performance.

The song lyrics follow the video. Happy Valentine’s day to all our readers!

Eu Sei Que Vou Te Amar (Antônio Carlos Jobim – Vinícius de Moraes)

Eu sei que vou te amar
Por toda a minha vida eu vou te amar
Em cada despedida eu vou te amar
Desesperadamente, eu sei que vou te amar

E cada verso meu será
Pra te dizer que eu sei que vou te amar
Por toda minha vida

Eu sei que vou chorar
A cada ausência tua eu vou chorar
Mas cada volta tua há de apagar
O que essa ausência tua me causou

Eu sei que vou sofrer a eterna desventura de viver
A espera de viver ao lado teu
Por toda a minha vida

Eu sei o que eu vou chorar
A cada ausência tua eu vou chorar
Mas cada volta tua há de apagar
O que essa ausência tua me causou

Eu sei que vou sofrer a eterna desventura de viver
A espera de viver ao lado teu
Por toda a minha vida
