que coisa boa

😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘 Astrud Gilberto, OMG I didn't know Micheal Frank's did this! Beautiful it would been even more awesome if Astrud Gilberto was singing with him!

What a visual and musical feast this is.

love this song , i knew this song but i dont know the title .. thanks for lyric too friend

When I walk around Soho
I remember Gamboa
There's a feeling, there's a beat
That hugs me like a boa
Walking by the docks
Where Donga make the samba
In the rhythm of the people
From Angola from Ruanda
Suffering along in the wonderful dilemma
Falling in the trap of the beautiful Morena
Oh, it feels so good kissing you in the cinema
With this God given love
Who would dare to condemn us?
Ai, ai, ai que coisa louca
Ai, meu deus que coisa boa
Ai, ai, ai que coisa louca
Ai, meu deus que coisa boa

He doesn`t say From Angola from Ruanda, but From Angola from Luanda.

Lovely video, great taste in pix selection for this classic Paulo Jobim tune

Love listening to this !

super espectacular musica bella relajante y linda espero verlo algun dia verlo en vivo y quisiera conocerlo

All his songs are just so perfect It is a joy to listen to them

Try Lisa Ono's version of this song, sung in Portuguese, on Youtube.

Simply masterful...Michael Franks..

Love this song!  Just another masterpiece from him, his music is outstanding. Rondevous in Rio is an excellent cd, the title track is another great hit. 

I will see Michael in North Vegas late this month...front row center. My late husband
and I discovered him I 1980....I have special request for him in memory of Al....I hope he will oblige.  Michael gets into your soul.....Linda V

nice..Franks has the unique ability to meld music with lyrics like no one else. He has an unmistakable style.

Hi Earl Manley, I just heard an older version of this song, and learned that also these lyrics in English are from Paulo Jobim. Antonio's son.
Hope you enjoy it:

I REALLY REALLY LOVE MICHAEL FRANKS....HE HAS A GENRE OF HIS OWN AND IT IS SOME OF THE CLASSIEST MUSIC I HAVE HEARD YET.

Well you have excellent taste in music. I love the Brazilian Bossa nova sound, I swear I love Brazil so much that I swear I must"ve been Brazilian in my past life.

Talent, Class, Style, Good Taste.

Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

classic

Absolutely.... The song " Like Water, Like Wind" is infact about their friendship. Was written after Jobim passed away.

Love Michael and love Brazil ( esp. Salvador and a special Person there).... Thanks.

Yes Michael sang 'Antonio's song' for him and mentioned in a one or two other of his songs. I haven't listened the guy's song personally but must be very good to have an influence on such a great singer like Michael Franks.

i love all michael franks music and im only 19 :)

got turned on to Micheal franks by a deadbeat neighbor in 1978 i got the book- the checks in the mail- from him and this great man's music

Antonio Carlos Jobim wrote this song; he and Michael were friends.

Yes they were close friends, but this song is composed by Paulo Jobim and Ronaldo Bastos :)))

one of my all time favorites.

wonderful!

"que coisa boa" indeed. Thanks for sharing this beautiful song.

...ay yay yay que coisa louca, ay meu deus que coisa boa...and the woman singer has absolutely perfect pitch!!! Show de bola, Michael.
