This is my last post before summer holidays. I would like to finish the season with one of my favorite songs. It is the eternal The girl from Ipanema sung by Astrud Gilberto. The song was written by Vinicius de Moraes and was dedicated to
The exemplar of the raw Carioca: a golden-tanned girl, a mixture of flower and mermaid, full of brightness and grace, but with a touch of sadness, in that she carries with her, on her route to the sea, the feeling of that which passes by, of the beauty that is not ours alone — it is a gift of life in its constant, beautiful and sad ebb and flow.
Can there be something more wonderful for the summer? Enjoy watching Astrud Gilberto sing The girl... here.
You as well, Sir.
