Ana Luíza is a Brazilian bossa nova song written and performed by Antonio Carlos Jobim. It was released in 1973 as track 2 on the album Matita Perê, produced by Eduardo Athayde. The Portuguese lyrics tell of longing for Luíza and the return of spring, with imagery of valleys, hills, and streams, conveying Jobim’s elegant melodic mood. The tune has become a classic in the bossa nova canon and has been covered by artists such as Sergio Endrigo.
