Samba De Uma Nota So (One Note Samba) (1964/Live At Cafe Au Go-Go, NYC)

Stan Getz Quartet
Album : Getz Plays Jobim - The Girl From Ipanema

This is just a little samba
built upon a single note
Other notes are bound to follow
But the root is still that note
Now this new one is the consequence,
of the one we've just been through,
as I'm bound to be the unavoidable consequence of you
There's so many people who can talk and talk and talk and talk
and just say nothing, or nearly nothing
I have used up al the scale I know,
And at the end I've come to nothing, or nearly nothing
So I come back to my first note,
as I must come back to you
I will pour into that one note,
All the love I have for you
Anyone who wants the whole show,
Re mi fa sol la si do
He will find himself with no show;
Better play the note you know
