"Crickets Sing for Anamaria" is the English-language version of "Os Grilos" ("The Crickets"), a song written by Brazilian musician Marcos Valle with his brother Paulo Sérgio Valle.
Original version
The instrumental original of "Os Grilos" appeared on Valle's Brazilliance! (Warner Bros./Odeon, 1967) and became a "breakout hit". The English version, to which producer Ray Gilbert contributed the lyrics, appeared on Valle's Samba '68 (Verve, 1968) and on Astrud Gilberto'sWindy (Verve, 1968). It has been covered many times since. The Anamaria of the title was Valle's then-wife, who also sang on Samba '68.
Emma Bunton version
Britishpop singer Emma Bunton's recording of "Crickets Sing for Anamaria" became the fourth and final single from her second solo album Free Me, released in 2004. "Crickets" debuted and peaked at number fifteen in the United Kingdom, her second single not to reach the top ten (the first being "We're Not Gonna Sleep Tonight"). It sold 25,723 copies. The single did, however, reach number one on the UK Club Chart. The video for the song was directed by Harvey & Carolyn, who also worked with Bunton on the video for "Maybe". For the B-sides Bunton covered Paul Anka's "Eso Beso" and Marcos Valle's "So Nice (Summer Samba)". The only original B-side was the Latino remix of "Maybe".

Hey Maria Papa said You better go to bed Maria Mama said You better go to bed And little sister said You better go to bed The older brother said You heard what Papa said You better say goodnight You better shut the light And Papa told you no You can't go out tonight But Papa didn't know Maria had a date And couldn't let him wait So in a little while She waited till the lights were low She went out the window to her beau, and so There's a lot of huggin' and A lot of kissin' and A lot of huggin' and A lot of kissin' and A lot of happy talk A lot of moon above But very little time A very little time To make a lot of love To make a lot of love Which is a normal thing To make a lot of love For it was summertime When all the crickets sing And in the summertime When anyone's in love The crickets sing a happy song But they didn't do their repertoire for long Suddenly the Papa came And then the Mama came And then the sister came And then the brother came And then the uncle came And then the cousin came And everbody came And I can tell you this It was a dirty shame Because the Papa came And then the Mama came And then the sister came And then the brother came And then the cousin came And everybody came And I can tell you this Do-do-do-do When anyone's in love The crickets sing a happy song But they didn't do their repertoire for long Suddenly the Papa came And then the Mama came And then the sister came And then the brother came And then the uncle came And then the cousin came And everybody came And I can tell you this It was a dirty shame Because the Papa came And then the Mama came And then the sister came And then the brother came And then the uncle came And then the cousin came And everybody came And I can tell you Suddenly the Papa came And then the Mama came And then the sister came And then the brother came And then the uncle came And then the cousin came And everybody came And I can tell you this It was a dirty shame Because the Papa came And then the Mama came And then the sister came And then the brother came And then the uncle came And then the cousin came And everybody came And I can tell you Suddenly the Papa came And then the Mama came And then the sister came And then the brother came And then the uncle came And then the cousin came And everybody came And I can tell you this It was a dirty shame Because the Papa came And then the Mama came And then the sister came And then the brother came
