Eu Sei Que Vou Te Amar on Banjo

Eu Sei Que Vou te Amar

Composição: Vinícius de Moraes

Eu sei que vou te amar
Por toda a minha vida eu vou te amar
Em cada despedida eu vou te amar
Desesperadamente, eu sei que vou te amar
E cada verso meu será
Prá te dizer que eu sei que vou te amar
Por toda minha vida
Eu sei que vou chorar
A cada ausência tua eu vou chorar
Mas cada volta tua há de apagar
O que esta ausência tua me causou
Eu sei que vou sofrer a eterna desventura de viver
A espera de viver ao lado teu
Por toda a minha vida



Toquinho Orq Arte Viva Eu sei que vou te amar Vinicius Jobim

Carmen Miranda (1909-1955) " The Brazilian Bombshell "

Carmen Miranda, pron. IPA: ['kaɾme͂j mi'rɐ͂dɐ], (February 9, 1909 – August 5, 1955); birth name Maria do Carmo Miranda da Cunha, GCIH) was a Portuguese-born[1] Brazilian[2] samba singer and motion picture star most active in the 1940s and 1950s. Famous for promoting Brazil all over the world, she was a Broadway star, the highest paid artist in Hollywood and the highest paid woman in the USA. She became best-known for her movie appearances, mostly musicals, wearing a hat with assorted tropical fruit on top, which has since become her iconic image.READ MORE HERE>>>










Carmen’s Hollywood image was one of a generic Latinness that blurred the distinctions between Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico as well as between samba, tango and habanera. It was carefully stylized and outlandishly flamboyant. She was often shown wearing platform sandals and towering headdresses made of fruit, becoming famous as "the lady in the tutti-frutti hat." At only 5 feet tall (1.52 m), these accoutrements made her appear almost larger-than-life on screen.

Busby Berkeley is at it again. Welcome to Banana Island. Only beautiful women with big bananas and little organ grinders with monkeys live here. Carmen Miranda is the queen and sings an electrifying song about her hat. This was banned in Brazil, and for good reason. This number ran at the Club New Yorker in 1943.
