about

"Entardecendo", a composition by João Donato and Marcos Valle.

“Entardecendo” is that time when the daylight starts fading but it’s not yet the sunset. The scenery of this beautiful song that I sing in duet with Petar Ćulibrk on piano says “I don’t know whether it was the sea or the sundown, but I can only think of you. Maybe it’s the fading daylight that brought love next to me. It happened suddenly when you and I were the only ones left, the big waves unrolling at “Arpoador” (a beach in Rio de Janeiro), and I dived in those blue eyes, I was spellbound by your chant, and our kiss exchanged in the south wind turned this encounter into love…” Dreamy, isn’t it? I can almost smell the sea and feel this south wind in my hair!

Marcos Valle , who shares this composition with João Donato, is now 79 years young and his hit “Samba de Verão” (Summer Samba) is one of the most covered songs in the history of Brazilian music. Valle-singer, songwriter, pianist and producer-started his career in the early days of the Bossa Nova and since then has composed and produced in many musical styles including funk, pop, jazz and fusion, and is considered one of the major performers of Brazilian music.

lyrics

Não sei se foi o mar ou o entardecer
Não sei, mas só penso em você
Talvez o fim de tarde quisesse assim
Deixar, o amor perto de mim

De repente aconteceu
Só ficamos você e eu
Altas ondas no Arpoador

Mergulhei nesse olhar azul
Me encantei com seu canto
E o beijo trocado ao vento sul
Fez amor desse encontro
