Tom Jobim - Angela. Tom is well accompanied in this album "Urubu". Tom plays fender rhodes, piano and vocals, Ron Carter on acoustic bass, João Palma, drums, Ray Armando, percussion, orchestra arranged and conducted by Claus Ogerman.



Vinicius dropped his diplomatic career to devote himself only to music and poetry, and wrote some beautiful songs along with the music of Tom Jobim. They wrote dozens of songs with woman names, Luiza, Ligia, Angela ... This is one of these.
Angela
Why so sad/ por que tão triste assim
now,/agora
And everything that exists cries,/ e tudo que existe chora
Your face in the window/ sua face na janela
of that plane,/daquele avião
Down below the Earth is a map,/ lá embaixo a terra é um mapa
That, now, a cloud slap,/que agora uma nuvem tapa
Do not attempt to avoid the pain,/ não tentes evitar a dor
Mysteriously,/Misteriosamente
Angela is so different,/ está tão diferente
The singular face of Angela,/ a face singular de Angela
While love surprises us,/ enquanto nos surpreende o amor
Oh Angela,
Sudden,/De repente
I see in front of me, Angela,/Eu vejo em minha frente
mysteriously Angela,/ misteriosamente
While love surprises us,/enquanto nos surpreende o amor
 Angela,

Tom Jobim and his songwriting partner Vinicius de Moraes, at the home of Vinicius in Rio. Together they wrote great songs.
