Aguas de março…Fito Paez / Antonio Carlos Jobim

Monday, January 11th, 2010

Águas de Março”) is a bossa nova song composed by Antonio Carlos Jobim. Jobim wrote both the English language and Portuguese lyrics. When writing the English lyrics, Jobim endeavored to avoid words with Latin roots resulting in the English version having more verses than the Portuguese. Another way in which the English lyrics differ from the Portuguese is that the English version treats March from the perspective of an observer in the northern hemisphere. In this context, the waters are the “waters of defrost” in contrast to the rains referenced in the original Portuguese, marking the end of summer and the beginning of the colder season in the southern hemisphere.[1].

In 2001, “Águas de Março” was named as the all-time best Brazilian song in a poll of more than 200 Brazilian journalists, musicians and other artists conducted by Brazil’s leading daily newspaper, Folha de São Paulo.
