“Autumn Leaves” (Folhas de Outono)...

“The falling leaves (As folhas caindo)

drift by the window (levadas pelo vento)

The autumn leaves (As folhas de outono)

of red and gold (de vermelho e dourado)

I see your lips, (Eu vejo teus lábios)

the summer kisses (o verão de beijos)

The sun-burned hands (As mãos bronzeadas do sol)

I used to hold (Habituado a segurar)

Since you went away (Desde que te foste embora)

the days grow long (os dias crescem longos)

And soon I'll hear (E em breve ouvirei)

old winter's song (as velhas canções de inverno)

But I miss you most of all (Mas sinto a tua falta de tudo o mais)

my darling (minha querida)

When autumn leaves (Quando as folhas de outono)

start to fall” (começarem a cair)...

NAT KING COLE

“Nathaniel Adams Coles (March 17, 1919 – February 15, 1965), known professionally as NAT KING COLE, was an American musician who first came to prominence as a leading jazz pianist. Although an accomplished pianist, he owes most of his popular musical fame to his soft baritone voice, which he used to perform in big band and jazz genres.… more”

Nat King Cole's rendition of this classic song.

"Autumn Leaves" is a much-recorded popular song. Originally a 1945 French song "Les feuilles mortes" (literally "Dead Leaves") with music by Jacques Prévert and lyrics by poet Joseph Kosma, English lyrics were written in 1947 by the American songwriter Johnny Mercer. It has become a pop standard and a jazz standard in both languages, and as an instrumental. "Les feuilles mortes" was introduced by Yves Montand in 1946 for the film Les Portes de la Nuit.

The film Autumn Leaves (1956) starring Joan Crawford featured the song, which was sung by Nat King Cole over the title sequence. The French songwriter Serge Gainsbourg wrote "La chanson de Prévert" as a tribute to this song
