This is a complete transcription of the vocal and piano parts, complete with chords and lyrics. For the passages without piano, I have added a transcription of the strings. The composition was originally an instrumental tune titled “Zingaro”, released for Jobim’s solo album, A Certain Mr. Jobim (1967). A year later, Chico Buarque adopted the composition for his third solo album, wrote the lyrics, and retitled the song “Retrato em Branco e Preto” (in English: “Portrait in White and Black”). Both titles seem to have stuck around, depending on whether or not the lyrics are featured. This 1974 recording is the first time Jobim returns to his composition, now with Chico Buarque’s lyrics, interpreted by Elis Regina – a beautiful display of musical collaboration. Enjoy!
