A FELICIDADE
as recorded by roland dyens
from the 1999 album "nuages"

music by antonio carlos jobim
arranged by roland dyens
words by vinicius de moraes
transcribed by wim

a very stylised arrangement of the famous bossa tune.  this arrangement is
packed full of semitones.  dyens plays most of those semitones right down near
the bridge so as to get that twangy metal sound.  if you like this effect you
should also check out the south american guitarist jorge morel, he loves the
quirky semitones too, in particular see "bossa in re".

some performance notes...i play all those bass notes in the intro with the
thumb and palm mute, using sweep picking for those fast ones at the end of each
bar (i'm not sure how dyens plays it).  all the staccato chords (indicated with
a dot above the tab) are made by lifting the left hand slightly.  rhythm is
complex to tab but listen to the .mid - if you're familiar with bossa it's a
fairly typical rhythm throughout and the bassline is almost always plodding
quarter notes.  about the tempo: i checked the midi against dyen's recording
and he actually plays ~117 bpm (!) on the nuages album.  however, the score
calls for 100.  in the midi i have used 104 (simply to be as close to 100 as
possible before the trills went all spastic for some wacky technical reason
unbeknownst to me)

hope you enjoy this one  :)

Lyrics

Tristeza não tem fim
Felicidade sim

A felicidade é como a pluma
Que o vento vai levando pelo ar
Voa tão leve
Mas tem a vida breve
Precisa que haja vento sem parar

A felicidade do pobre parece
A grande ilusão do carnaval
A gente trabalha o ano inteiro
Por um momento de sonho
Pra fazer a fantasia
De rei ou de pirata ou jardineira
Pra tudo se acabar na quarta feira

A felicidade é como a gota
De orvalho numa pétala de flor
Brilha tranquila
Depois de leve oscila
E cai como uma lágrima de amor

A minha felicidade está sonhando
Nos olhos da minha namorada
É como esta noite
Passando, passando
Em busca da madrugada
Falem baixo, por favor
Prá que ela acorde alegre como o dia
Oferecendo beijos de amor

A felicidade é uma coisa louca
e tão delicada também
Tem flores e amores de todas as cores
Tem ninhos de passarinhos
Tudo bom ela tem
Pois é por ela ser assim tão delicada
Que eu trato dela sempre muito bem

Sadness has no end
Happiness does

Happiness is like a feather
That the wind carries through the air
It flies so lightly
But has a brief life
It needs to have a wind that never stops

The happiness of a poor man is like
The grand illusion of Carnaval
People work the whole year long
For one moment's dream
To play the part of
A king or a pirate or a gardener
And all of that is ended on [Ash] Wednesday

Happiness is like a drop
Of dew on a flower's petal
It shines peacefully then swings lightly
And falls like a tear of love

My happiness is dreaming
In the eyes of my girl
It is like a night that passes by
In search of the dawn
Speak quietly please
So that she wakes as happy as the day
Offering kisses of love

Happiness is a crazy thing
And so delicate too
It has flowers and love of all colors
It has bird nests
It has everything that is good
Because she's like this -- so delicate
I always treat her very well
