Fugaz Bossa Embrace

Clara Ondina

Bossa Nova

About

A gentle Bossa Nova track featuring syncopated acoustic guitar rhythms and whispery female vocals that paint a picture of transient love under Rio's stars. The arrangement stays intimate with light percussion and subtle double bass, creating an atmosphere of elegant saudade. Subtle harmonic shifts from minor to major keys add emotional depth without overwhelming the laid-back groove.

Lyrics

Intro
Soft guitar arpeggios
Verse 1

Under the Copacabana lights Flickering low as the night unfolds Seu sorriso como o mar Waves crashing soft on the shore

Chorus

We sway together, in the bossa rhythm Amor fugaz, like a summer dream Under the stars, we dance so free Saudade lingers, bittersweet and sweet

Verse 2

Your touch like samba rain Gone by the morning light Nas ruas de Ipanema Memories fade into the blue

Chorus

We sway together, in the bossa rhythm Amor fugaz, like a summer dream Under the stars, we dance so free Saudade lingers, bittersweet and sweet

Bridge
Whispered, with light flute

E se o vento levar você I'll hold this melody close No ritmo da vida, we find our peace

Chorus

We sway together, in the bossa rhythm Amor fugaz, like a summer dream Under the stars, we dance so free Saudade lingers, bittersweet and sweet

Outro
Fading guitar and soft vocals

Saudade... under the stars

We sway... sway...

Fugaz Bossa Embrace
