"Sentado à Beira do Caminho" is a Brazilian song composed by Roberto Carlos and Erasmo Carlos and released as a single in May 1969 by Erasmo Carlos.

Background

The song was inspired by a 1968 hit song, Bobby Russell's "Honey (I miss you)", and it describes the despair and hopelessness of a lover waiting for his beloved.[1]

In 1970 the song was adapted into Italian language by Bruno Lauzi and recorded by Ornella Vanoni with title "L'appuntamento". This version, chosen as opening song of the radio show Gran Varietà, became an immediate hit, ranking #2 on the Italian hit parade. The song was also covered by several artists, including Mina, Andrea Bocelli, Johnny Dorelli, Fernanda Porto.[1]

The Vanoni's version was included in the musical score of the film Ocean's Twelve.[2]
