Quem Te Viu, Quem Te Vê is a Brazilian samba and MPB tune written by Chico Buarque. It was first performed publicly in 1967 with Nara Leão on the TV program Pra Ver a Banda Passar, and released on the 1967 album Chico Buarque de Hollanda Vol. 2. The song tells the story of a samba dancer who was the star of the parade and is now distant, with the narrator recalling the romance and the life of the samba circle as fortunes change. The refrain repeats the title line, expressing how someone once so vivid can become unrecognizable to those who remember them. A live rendition appears on the 2007 album Carioca ao Vivo, underscoring its lasting place in Brazilian music history.
