Description

Sorte! is the title track of the 2020 Grammy® nominated album in Best Latin Jazz.
It marks the first collaboration between Latin Grammy and Grammy nominated composer John Finbury and Afro-Brazilian singer-songwriter-actress Thalma de Freitas, whose early co-writing credits include Brazilian household names like João Donato and Céu.

Sorte! is a love letter about serendipity, how "great mistakes also mean luck", uplifting the feelings of trust in the Universe, which always has our back and conspires in favor of Love. The classic explanation of serendipity reads “Luck is when opportunity finds us prepared".

Lyrics

Sorte!

Quando a serendipidade
Abençoa o buscador
Num golpe de sorte redentor
Revelando a providência em seu esplendor

São milagres da ciência desafiando a razão
Santa distração
E universos paralelos revelar-se-ão

Nossa trajetória pode ser Sorte!
Muito prazer te conhecer Sorte!
Erros excelentes também são Sorte!
Poderosa distração

Então acidentalmente nossa história começou,
Num golpe de sorte assustador
Um atalho, um ato falho, o susto, o riso, a flor
São milagres da vivência desafiando a razão
Santa comunhão
E universos paralelos sintonizarão

Nossa trajetória só pode ser Sorte!
Muito prazer te conhecer Sorte!
Erros excelentes também são Sorte!
Curiosa precisão

Luck!

When serendipity
Blesses the Seeker
In a redeeming stroke of luck
Revealing Providence in Its Splendor

They're miracles of science defying reason
Holly Distraction
And parallel universes will reveal themselves

Our trajectory can be ... Luck!
Such a pleasure to meet you... Luck!
Excellent mistakes are also... Luck!
Powerful distraction...

And so accidentally our story began,
In a redeeming stroke of luck
A shortcut, a Freudian slip, a scare, a laugh, a flower
They are miracles of experience that defy reason
Holy communion
And parallel universes will tune in

Our trajectory can be ... Luck!
Such a pleasure to meet you... Luck!
Excellent mistakes are also... Luck!
Curious accuracy...
