Dienda is a jazz tune with music by Kenny Kirkland and lyrics by Sting. The lyrics tell a small Brooklyn street story, weaving autumn imagery and a sound carried by the wind from an open window, lingering like a song long after it ends and hoping for spring. The original instrumental was first released by Branford Marsalis in 1986 on the album Royal Garden Blues. Sting later added English lyrics and released a vocal version in November 2001. The piece is primarily associated with jazz and is noted for its vivid, lyrical storytelling inside a moody urban setting.
