LYRICS & GUITAR CHORDS LIST - CHOOSE THE BOSSA NOVA
Lyrics, guitar chords and video of "Rosto de menina, rosto de mulher" (Girl face, woman face)
Love in the internet times, a story like so many, e woman with girl
face, a girl with a woman face, an impossible passion and insurmountables
distances ...
Although some people think differently than me (and I respect them), I always
affirm that the Bossa Nova always should be "nova" (is an indivisible part of
its essence), and one of the ways that I find healthier to revitalize the bossa
nova is precisely, to adapt it to our changing times, especially as the lyrics
are concerned.
Love through the Internet is a new phenomenon of our times ... why should bossa
nova ignore that fact? perhaps Newton Mendonça, in his lyrics of "Desafinado"
ignored the "Roll-Flex", a brand and sophisticated photo camera of his times?
The masters led the way, and we should put our grain of sand following that
path.
In short, "Rosto de menina, rosto de mulher" try to be a mirror of some moments
of our contemporary times (like a photo shot) associated with love, that maybe thousands of people
experience today that love through internet. Anecdotally I tell you that once, a girl wrote me thanking me
for having composed this song ... told me that her boyfriend had declared his
love by sending to her "Rosto menina, rosto of mulher". Personally, I think that
events like this are the best award that a composer can receive.
