Este Seu Olhar is a Brazilian bossa nova song written by Antonio Carlos Jobim in 1959. It was first recorded in 1959 by Vera Lúcia, with later notable versions by Dick Farney (1960), João Gilberto (1961), and Nara Leão (1971). The tune is a staple of Jobim’s repertoire and is widely associated with the bossa nova movement. A 2014 Spotify release of The Greatest Hits Collection includes a 2:13 rendition, showcasing its enduring appeal. The title translates to What Your Eyes Are Saying to Me, and the lyrics describe a night when your eyes seem to speak of love, a belief the singer longs for, even though morning may bring doubt. English lyrics are translated and adapted by Paul Sonnenberg from Jobim’s original Portuguese.
