No more blues

“No More Blues” is the English title of “Chega de Saudade,” a bossa nova classic composed by Antônio Carlos Jobim with lyrics by Vinicius de Moraes. First popularized by João Gilberto in the late 1950s, the song is often credited with launching the bossa nova movement. The English adaptation, known as “No More Blues,” has been recorded by many jazz and pop artists, blending the gentle sway of Brazilian rhythm with a message of leaving sadness behind. Its sophisticated harmonies and relaxed feel have made it a timeless standard.
