My first video upload on Super Sonido. There is actually a ton of great footage of Gal Costa on You Tube, but this performance I like the best. Trem Das Once (The 11 PM Train) is considered a real classic samba number. I just wanted to demonstrate Gal’s ability to take one of the most famous Brazilian songs ever and give it unbelievable value and depth. You’ll hear that the whole audience sings along mid way through the video. Given below are the English lyrics. Enjoy!
I can’t stay
Not even another minute with you
I am sorry, love
But it can not be
I live in Jaçanã
If I miss this train
That leaves now at 11 PM
Only tomorrow morning
And besides that, woman
There’s another thing
My mother doesn’t sleep
Until I get home
I’m an only child
I have my house to look after
Super Sonido 
She’s the best, a true original. Great footage.
Of her late 70’s albums I recommend “Caras E Bocas” and the wonderful “Gal canta Caymmi” they’re both excellent (and the vyinils can be found at low prices).
this is fantastic.
thanks a lot.
absolutely fantastic, thank you for sharing that, although I’m a fan (but not a portuguese speaker) I had never heard this before and likely never would have come across it..
Love it! Now I have to download all the songs uploaded in the previous post…
I came back and watched the video again. So beautiful!!!
love it.
