Look to the Rainbow is a 1966 album by Astrud Gilberto, arranged by Gil Evans and Al Cohn.
Astrud Gilberto, nascida Astrud Evangelina Weinert, (Salvador, 29 de março de 1940) é uma cantora brasileira de samba e bossa nova de fama internacional.
Astrud casou-se com João Gilberto em 1959 e mudou-se para os Estados Unidos em 1963, ano em que participou do álbum Getz/Gilberto juntamente com seu marido, e do músico Stan Getz e do também brasileiro Tom Jobim. Astrud, que nunca havia cantado profissionalmente antes, participou das gravações por convite de seu marido, e durante as subsequentes apresentações descobriu que sofria de medo de palco.
O sucesso do trabalho de Astrud Gilberto na canção The Girl from Ipanema tornou-a um nome proeminente na música do jazz, e logo começou a fazer gravações solo.


Tristeza não tem fim
Felicidade sim...

A felicidade é como a pluma
Que o vento vai levando pelo ar
Voa tão leve
Mas tem a vida breve
Precisa que haja vento sem parar.

A felicidade do pobre parece
A grande ilusão do carnaval
A gente trabalha o ano inteiro
Por um momento de sonho
Pra fazer a fantasia
De rei, ou de pirata, ou jardineira
E tudo se acabar na quarta-feira.

Tristeza não tem fim
Felicidade sim...

A felicidade é como a gota
De orvalho numa pétala de flor
Brilha tranquila
Depois de leve oscila
E cai como uma lágrima de amor.

A minha felicidade está sonhando
Nos olhos de minha namorada
É como esta noite
Passando, passando
Em busca da madrugada
Falem baixo por favor...
Pra que ela acorde alegre como o dia
Oferecendo beijos de amor.

Tristeza não tem fim
Felicidade sim...

           Fiona Apple McAfee-Maggart(born September 13, 1977) is an American singer-songwriter. She has released five albums from 1996 to 2020, which have all reached the top 20 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart. Apple has received numerous awards and nominations, including three Grammy Awards, two MTV Video Music Awards, and a Billboard Music Award.
         The youngest daughter of the actor Brandon Maggart, Apple was born in New York City and was raised alternating between her mother's home in New York and her father's in Los Angeles. Classically trained on piano as a child, she began composing her own songs when she was eight years old. Her debut album, Tidal, containing songs written when she was 17, was released in 1996 and received a Grammy Award for Best Female Vocal Rock Performance for the single "Criminal". She followed with When the Pawn... (1999), produced by Jon Brion, which was also critically and commercially successful and was certified Platinum.
      For her third album, Extraordinary Machine(2005), Apple again collaborated with Brion and began recording the album in 2002. However, Apple was reportedly unhappy with the production and opted not to release the record, leading fans to protest Epic Records, erroneously believing that the label was withholding its release. The album was eventually re-produced without Brion and released in October 2005. The album was certified Gold, and nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album. In 2012, she released her fourth studio album, The Idler Wheel..., which received critical praise and was followed by a tour of the United States and was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album in 2013. Apple's fifth studio album, Fetch the Bolt Cutters, was released in 2020 to widespread acclaim, earning two Grammy Awards: Best Alternative Music Album and Best Rock Performance for the lead single "Shameika".
          The Best Is Yet to Come: The Songs of Cy Coleman is a compilation album and tribute to Cy Coleman, released in September 2009. The album peaked at number 32 of Billboard's Jazz Albums chart.

Pretending that we'll meet
Each time I turn a corner, I walk a little faster
Pretending life is sweet
'Cause love's around the corner, I walk a little faster
 
Can't begin to see my future shine as yet
No sign as yet, you're mine as yet
Rushing to a face I can't define as yet
Keep bumping into walls and taking lots of falls
 
And even though I meet 'round each and every corner
With nothing but disaster
 
I set my chin a little higher, I hope a little longer
Build a little stronger castle in the air
And thinking you'll be there, I walk a little faster
 
Can't begin to see my future shine as yet
No sign as yet, you're mine as yet
Rushing to a face I can't define as yet
Keep bumping into walls and taking lots of falls
 
And even though I meet 'round each and every corner
With nothing but disaster
 
I set my chin a little higher and I hope a little longer
I build a little stronger castle in the air
And thinking you'll be there, I walk a little faster.
