Dindi


"Dindi" is a song composed by Antônio Carlos Jobim, with lyrics by Aloysio de Oliveira. It is a world-famous bossa nova and jazz standard song. Jobim wrote this piece especially for the Brazilian singer Sylvia Telles. "Dindi" is a reference to a farm named "Dirindi", in Brazil, a place that Jobim and his friend/collaborator Vinicius de Moraes used to visit.
Telles was the first singer to record this song in Portuguese, in 1959. This song was re-recorded by Telles in December 1966, together with the guitarist Rosinha de Valença.

English version

English lyrics were added by Ray Gilbert:
Both Jobim and Astrud Gilberto recorded Dindi with English lyrics in 1965.
