Chega de Saudade (ver. 1) by Antonio Carlos Jobim - Piano Sheets and Free Sheet Music

  
About the Song
"Chega de Saudade" (often translated to English as "No More Blues") is considered the first Bossa nova song. Composed by Antonio Carlos Jobim (music) and Vinícius de Moraes (lyrics) it became popular in the interpretation by João Gilberto (). It was first recorded by Elizete Cardoso on her album Canção do Amor Demais but the public did not take notice of that release, and Gilberto's own recording, shortly afterwards as a single, made it a hit. The title can be translated roughly as "enough longing", though the Portuguese word saudade carries with it a far more complex meaning. The word implies an intensity of heartfelt connection that is yearned for passionately; not unlike feeling withdrawal symptoms from a drug that makes one feel good. Another good analogy might be an intense homesickness. Chega, in this case, means no more, enough. It has been recorded by jazz and rock.    Download this sheet!
