Lyrics:
Slow the beating of my heart O Passo O Passo
No, the street is not my path O Passo O Passo
Can’t catch my breath
This dust will be my death
How do I find the garden?
Jardim Jardim - Let me in
I’ve forgotten how the rain feels on my skin
Far beyond the city walls
You are calling me in
All it takes is just one step
To find the beauty inside ...
I am weaving through the leaves O Passo O Passo
The sunlight dancing in my eyes. O Passo O Passo
There was a time
All I had to do was rhyme.
But now I need to find the garden.
Jardim Jardim - Let me in
I want to feel - the rain upon my skin.
What if everything’s alright
And I’m where I need to be.
All it takes is just one step
To find the beauty inside.
With every beat - My breath becomes a sigh
My sigh becomes a song - And still I wonder why
On tired feet - My step becomes a dance.
The path becomes a melody.
And I -- just la la la ya lay
Slow the madness of my mind
I hear the sighing of your soul
I'm breathing now
In tune with all around
I've finally found the garden
Jardim, Jardim
I'm within
I finally feel the rain upon my skin
Now I’m held in your embrace
Swaying in my sanctuary
I get the rhythm of your grace
And the beauty inside...

About Anna
Soulful Sydney-based singer/guitarist Anna Salleh. Brazilian Bossa nova, samba, Latin jazz and much more - songs of beauty, sorrow, irreverence and joy!
Sydney-based singer/guitarist Anna Salleh (pronounced ‘Sah-lay’) is one of Australia's much-loved exponents of Brazilian jazz and other crossover music styles, including honey-smooth bossa nova, irrepressible samba, enchanting choro and surprise favourites all in the mix.
Anna cut her teeth performing clubs, festivals, concert halls and other venues - from Australia to Malaysia, and from the United Kingdom to Brazil. Apart from jazz, she has also explored a cappella and music for improvised theatre.
In 2010, she fell under the spell of Brazilian music that first captured her imagination as a child. She spent three months in Rio de Janeiro performing with local musicians and seeking out the wisdom of elders to deepen her understanding of Brazilian music. Anna's journey of musical discovery in Brazil led to an ABC radio documentary, a show and two albums including the live recording 'A Felicidade' (pronounced 'Ah-felee-see-dah-jee') released in 2012 and 'Gorgeous Songs from Brazil & Beyond' (2016). www.abc.net.au/radionational/...
Bossa nova pioneer, Roberto Menescal said of Anna that she comes to jazz with a Brazilian bias, with a natural groove that is in tune with Afro-Brazilian rhythms. "As we say: She plays a little drum at midnight. Makes a little macumba," he said. (Macumba is an African-Brazilian religion with rituals that include playing drums late at night).
From 2013 Anna appeared regularly at Sydney's top jazz club Foundry616 with some of Sydney's best jazz/world musicians including guitarist Guy Strazz. Her latest quartet SERAFINA features celebrated clarinet, sax and flute player Loretta Palmeiro, guitarist Gino Pengue and percussionist Jess Ciampa. In the Summer of 2020/21 Anna and band were nominated as one of the Sydney Morning Herald's top picks. Critic John Shand wrote that Anna's had "the right sort of light, supple voice (and excellent Portuguese) to give this music the lilt it demands". "If this isn't the sound of summer, I don't know what is,” he added.
