lyrics

English lyric:

Introduction: Sky so vast is the sky
With far away clouds just wandering by
Where do they go? Oh, I don't know, don't know

Wind that speaks to the leaves
Telling Stories that no one believes
Stories of love belong to you and me

Oh Dindi, if I only had words
I would say all the beautiful things that I see
When you're with me, oh, my Dindi

Oh Dindi, like the song of the wind in the trees
That's how my heart is singing Dindi
Happy Dindi when you're with me

I love you more each day, yes, I do, yes, I do
I'd let you go away if you take me with you

Don't you know, my Dindi?
I'd be running and searching for you
Like a river that can't find the sea
That would be me without you, my Dindi

I love you more each day, yes, I do, yes, I do
I'd let you go away if you take me with you

Don't you know, Dindi?
I'd be running and searching for you
Like a river that can't find the sea
That would be me without you, without you, yeah
My Dindi, my Dindi, my Dindi

Original lyric:

Introducão (não cantada nesta gravacão): Céu, tão grande é o céu
E bandos de nuvens que passam ligeiras
Prá onde elas vão, ah, eu não sei, não sei

E o vento que toca nas folhas
Contando as histórias que são de ninguém
Mas que são minhas e de você também

Ai, Dindí
Se soubesses o bem que eu te quero
O mundo seria, Dindí, tudo, Dindí, lindo, Dindí

Ai, Dindí
Se um dia você for embora me leva contigo, Dindí
Olha, Dindí, fica, Dindí

E as águas desse rio
Onde vão, eu não sei
A minha vida inteira, esperei, esperei

por vo...cê, Dindí
Que é a coisa mais linda que existe
É você não existe, Dindí

about

Chuva Boa Portland, Oregon

Colleen Kitchen and Laura Zaerr have played together for many years, so we thought we'd do Latin Jazz on the harp and see where it takes us. Along the way we added Kevin Ronkko on percussion and very recently Ron Green on bass.
