about

This song has a special history, both for the band and globally. Famous for the iconic performance by Rita Hayworth in the 1946 cinematic masterpiece, Gilda, the song's popularity was revived by Pink Martini. The newer rendition used to play over the speakers in the coffee shop where Viva worked while she was just getting her start, and she would often play it at the end of a tough day- or to celebrate a fabulous one. This arrangement here marks Viva's first step in arranging tunes on a large-scale, and remains one of her proudest works.

lyrics

Amado mio
love me forever
and let forever
begin tonight

Amado mio
when we're together
I'm in a dreamworld
of sweet delight

Many times I've whispered
"amado mio"
It was just a phrase
that I heard in plays
I was acting a part

But now when I whisper
"amado mio"
can't you tell I care
by the feeling's there
'cause it comes from my heart

My one endeavor
my love, my darling
is just to hold you
and hold you tight

Amado mio
love me forever
and let forever
begin tonight
