@@Chill1044 My first real* introduction to Brazilian music was when I impulse purchased a CD at Tower Records. It was called "Obrigado Brazil" (not "Brasil", and I think that was intentional) and was a collection of pieces with Yo-Yo Ma on cello accompanied by other artists, playing samba music. I must have listened to that CD at least a hundred times. *I say "real introduction" because when I go back and listen to classic Nintendo video game music... there seems to be a great deal of influence from samba. Which makes a lot of sense. The NES sound capabilities were very limited. The "instruments" can't sound like real instruments, so how do you add texture and flavor? With syncopated rhythms and chords that aren't strict triads. Plus you usually want it to be happy, and something you can stand to listen to on repeat for hours on end while you play the game. That's a narrow subset of world music. Some of my happiest childhood memories involved video games, and in particular Japanese games with very samba soundtracks. So thank you, Brazil, de coração.
@@tom_somethinghey, in fact japanese games express some influence Brazil had over Japan. Do you know the largest japanese community outside Japan is in Brazil? These countries have a History of immigration, both ways, and have shared cultural traits, i.e. Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.
This sounds like love. More so than any love song I've heard. It's not an obsession, a heartbreak, nor a lust. There's no impositions of dominance, subservience, masculinity, femininity, or any other expectations of how love "should be". It is two people just enjoying all that is life together. The flow leading to an end isn't something to fear or fight, either. The entire dynamic is a natural flow, and that is the most precious love. It's beautiful.
It sure is lovely! But in my way of seeing is more than just romantic love, the lyric is about the rains or march in Brazil because is when the summer ends and starts autunm, i think that is a love about life. I was born in the second of march so every year after my birthday it rains... São as águas de março fechando o verão...
This is one of my favorite songs of all time. If you look at the Portuguese translation or the English lyrics what Jobim wrote, it is an amazing insight in a long reflection on life. Marco, March is the fall of Brazil, and so is so much like a "September Song" or like Sinatra's "It was a very good year" in a life reflection in the autumn of both the world around one and the life of someone. Somehow, not sad, filled with joy, and yet also full of experience and reflection of a life well lived, but with knowledge that more good is ahead.
ua-cam.com/video/6kVBqefGcf4/v-deo.html This is her amazing interpretation of a historical song for Brazil. This is a gem in my opinion. Take a look, please.
I sang this when i was a little girl. I didn’t know or understood a word but i taught myself. I was about 7 and I’ve been looking for this song for 13 years ❤️
Oh welcome, welcome... I'm brasilian and I've been listen to this song since wen i was a child... But i've never realy realy enjoy. i dont know wy. Now i descovered the bewtty, simplicitty, "sutileza", "profundidade"... Wow..., its pure magic!
That is really beautiful! The English version was written by the author - the guy on the left - Tom Jobim. There's a beautiful recording by Art Garfunkel on youtube.
I have watched this so many times during this pandemic. The chemistry between these two is so beautiful. I can listen to this over and over again to just feel better about the world in these dark times.
Even though I couldn't understand the Portuguese, I didn't need to. It made me feel good just to listen to what sounded like a happy conversation between two people.
***** While these English lyrics were written by Jobim, they are not a translation. It's a new set of lyrics that are similar to but not the same as the Portuguese lyrics.
@@clubedanarrativa5603 , they clearly had made up. I have loved their version best for decades. Listening is always tinged with sadness because of her so very-too-early death. Such a waste.
Been listening to Aguas for 30 years now. How do I know this is a beautiful song? Just like all beautiful songs out there - every time you listen to it, you feel like you've heard it for the first time and your jaw dropped... The genius of A. C. Jobim and the angel that Elis was: the electricity between the two, the pure unadulterated joy of seeing them enjoying singing, the joviality of the song - the ingredients of the most beautiful 3 minutes. If this doesn't make your day tons better, you have serious problems...
+shivercanada I can't believe I have only just heard discovered this for the first time!!! How did I miss it??!! Now it is often in my head...making me feel good :D
This performance has always made me smile with its energy and silliness but this was my first time seeing the video of it. I couldn't stop smiling and even got a little misty-eyed. What a sweet gift this is.
Every positive line in the duet Carlos Jobin gives saying "It will be ok!" He turns the whole song upside down. Elis Regina is just turned upside down by his love for her! So beautiful!!!!!
What a great song. ENGLISH LYRICS HERE: A stick, a stone, It's the end of the road, It's the rest of a stump, It's a little alone It's a sliver of glass, It is life, it's the sun, It is night, it is death, It's a trap, it's a gun The oak when it blooms, A fox in the brush, A knot in the wood, The song of a thrush The wood of the wind, A cliff, a fall, A scratch, a lump, It is nothing at all It's the wind blowing free, It's the end of the slope, It's a beam, it's a void, It's a hunch, it's a hope And the river bank talks of the waters of March, It's the end of the strain, The joy in your heart The foot, the ground, The flesh and the bone, The beat of the road, A slingshot's stone A fish, a flash, A silvery glow, A fight, a bet, The range of a bow The bed of the well, The end of the line, The dismay in the face, It's a loss, it's a find A spear, a spike, A point, a nail, A drip, a drop, The end of the tale A truckload of bricks in the soft morning light, The shot of a gun in the dead of the night A mile, a must, A thrust, a bump, It's a girl, it's a rhyme, It's a cold, it's the mumps The plan of the house, The body in bed, And the car that got stuck, It's the mud, it's the mud Afloat, adrift, A flight, a wing, A hawk, a quail, The promise of spring And the riverbank talks of the waters of March, It's the promise of life It's the joy in your heart A stick, a stone, It's the end of the road It's the rest of a stump, It's a little alone A snake, a stick, It is John, it is Joe, It's a thorn in your hand and a cut in your toe A point, a grain, A bee, a bite, A blink, a buzzard, A sudden stroke of night A pin, a needle, A sting, a pain, A snail, a riddle, A wasp, a stain A pass in the mountains, A horse and a mule, In the distance the shelves rode three shadows of blue And the riverbank talks of the waters of March, It's the promise of life in your heart, in your heart A stick, a stone, The end of the road, The rest of a stump, A lonesome road A sliver of glass, A life, the sun, A knife, a death, The end of the run And the riverbank talks of the waters of March, It's the end of all strain, It's the joy in your heart.
Eternal, Inspirational, love, pain, sickness, hope, despair, beauty, life, seasons, filth and purity.....Aguas De Marco.. My favorite all time song and favorite version of it. Absolutely magical.
My god!! One of the most beautiful things I've ever heard !! this song touches the soul so sweet and engaging !! tom jobim was a genius !! and elis regina e ~ is the greatest brazilian singer that ever existed !!
I would like to expand the lyrics explanation. It was composed when Tom Jobim was building his country house nearby RIo de Janeiro (as I´ve heard once in a interview of his partners).

As "festa do comeeira" when the roof is ready and, so, you can live there.... anyway, great moment......
This means so much to me, this song is very special. Your description just opened up my eyes to the meaning behind a song that held a lot of significance to a trip i made with my mum. when i play it to her she smiles like she's showing the joy in her heart of the memory of some really special times we shared. thankyou !
Chega a ser engraçado a maioria dos comentários ser inglês, pois os brasileiros estão mto ocupados ouvindo...bem...deixa pra lá... Linda música, interpretação musical perfeita de Elis e Jobim
this is the sweetest video -- I love this song, so much admire Tom Jobim as a songwriter, and am deeply moved by the delight Elis Regina and Jobim show in their duet, plus the pure joy of the music. Thanks for posting this. A classic!
There are certain things in life that are divine and privileged and yet right there for anyone to experience and this video is one of those rare, rare, things. It doesn't matter that the camera work drives you crazy, nor that they are only dubbing rather than recording live. If you doubt that look closely at Jobim. At moments he starts singing before his mouth opens and vice versa nor does his voice fade in and out when he pivots away from the mike. So they are making this video to the famous and universally beloved recording of this song that they made together and that everyone knows and loves. So what? It is a treasure to be thankful for. And I am.
I have been familiar with this recording for a long time and was always amused by the camaraderie between the two of them and Elis Regina trying to contain her laughter. Finally I got to see the video and it is charming as I hoped it would be.
A.C. Jobim & Ellis Regina performed this Jobim gold nugget "Aguas de Marco" at a Summer evening LA Hollywood Bowl Jazz concert decades ago I 'surely didn't want to end
god i haven't heard/watched this for 10+ years. this song and particularly this version (and also the one with morelenbaum) has healed me (and my worries!) a hundred times since my college days in the early 2000s and i forgot its magic since i last heard it back in maybe 2010! i learned portuguese very well from listening constantly to jobim/gilberto bossa nova since the 90s in middle school and high school and the lyrics are just as amazing
This song was a background song on a commercial on television AYALA MALL in Philippines during 1994. I'd been looking for this for for almost 26 years. Finally found on youtube accidentally.
I've never heard of Elis Regina. Beautiful singing! I have heard of Antonio Carlos Jobim. I've never heard of him referred to as *"Tom"* Jobim before. I knew he comoposed some great songs, but I didn't know he sang as well.
In Brazil, he is known as Tom Jobim, maybe you'll find more of his beautiful songs looking for his nickname since no one here ever called him antonio carlos :)
Waters of March - English translation A stick, a stone, its the end of the road, It’s what’s left of a stump, It’s a little alone It’s a sliver of glass, It is life, it’s the sun, It is night, it is death, It’s a snare, it’s a gun It’s the blossoming field, It’s the candlelight’s blush, It’s the knot in the wood, it’s the song of the thrush It’s the wood of the wind, It’s the cliff and the fall, It is Mystery’s depths, It is nothing at all It’s the wind blowing free, It’s the crest of the slope, It’s a beam, it’s a bay, it’s the thrill at the top. It’s the rain raining down, it’s a wild flood of talk, as March waters dissolve all the cares of the heart. The foot, the ground, it’s the heavy walk home, it’s the bird in the hand, it’s the slingshot’s fresh stone. It’s a bird in the sky, It’s a bird in the wood, It’s a stream, it’s a spring, it’s a morsel of food. It’s the base of a well, it’s the end of the line, the dismay on a face, it’s a loss, it’s a find. It’s a spear, it’s a spike it’s a tale, it’s a bill, it’s a tip, it’s a top, a drop dripping at will. A fish, a flash, a silvery glow, it’s the fresh morning light, it’s the spring of a bow It’s a truckload of wood, it’s the pain of the bite it’s cachaça drunk straight on the street in the night It’s the plan of the house, it’s a body in bed, it’s the car that got stuck, it’s the mud, it’s the mud! A step, a bridge, a frog and a child, it’s the landscape alive in the fresh morning light And the waters of March put the summer to sleep with the promise of life that the heart gets to keep. It’s a snake, it’s a stick, it is John, it is Joe, it’s a thorn in the hand, it’s a cut to the toe. And the waters of March put the summer to sleep with the promise of life that the heart gets to keep. A stick, a stone, its the end of the road, It’s what’s left of a stump, It’s a little alone A step, a bridge, a frog and a child It’s a lovely horizon, it’s a fever gone wild And the waters of March put the summer to sleep, with the promise of life that the heart gets to keep. -Pau, -Edra, -Im, -Inho -Aco, -Idro, -Ida, -Ol And the waters of March put the summer to sleep, with the promise of life that the heart gets to keep.
Like fine wine, you don't appreciate it at first then you evolve to the level where you savor it because you have discovered a new world...that is quality living.
Maravilhosa Elis e o gênio Tom. Impossível não ser perfeito. Ouvir essa música é maravilhoso e pra quem sabe tocar e cantar e um presente especial. Vc se sente maravilhosamente um pouquinho desses dois eternos.
i 've been looking for this song for ages. i couldn't rem the name.. i was searching for ides of march, the ides of spring, tides of spring, then i stumbled onto it. i can play this song over and over and over and each time i hear it i...
each time i hear it i feel profoundly changed but i cannot truly put it in words. i don't understand most of what they sing cos i only know tiny amounts of Portuguese and Spanish and studied Latin a long time ago. but it doesn't matter because each time i invent my own little lyrical version in my head... based on the title, of course... the way you feel in the spring, the way your attitude changes toward women, the way everything seems to come alive around, everything smells diffferent. i wish i could express myself better but that's about it
it must be interesting thinking about the song in this new perspective of spring, cause since Brazil is in the southern hemisphere, the song actually talks about autumn.
If not a video, it would sound terrific, but it so delightful to see these two immortal legends having fun and playful making music to delight everyone, even me who don’t speak Portuguese!
I've been listening to this song for years and never knew there was a video of it being recorded. It's exactly as I imagined especially with Elis laughing and smiling at the end. Love this song
The means of production do not matter. What matters is the emotion they create. Soon machines will be better than artists at stimulating our brain. So what? So nothing. Just enjoy! That's what you were made for.

I was always struck by how the mood of Aguas de Marco can express both joy and sadness depending on the timbre of the music & vocals.
I think it’s because the song describes the conditions of life and existence, you can choose to view that as a burden or a blessing

What a great song. ENGLISH LYRICS HERE:
A stick, a stone,
It's the end of the road,
It's the rest of a stump,
It's a little alone
It's a sliver of glass,
It is life, it's the sun,
It is night, it is death,
It's a trap, it's a gun
The oak when it blooms,
A fox in the brush,
A knot in the wood,
The song of a thrush
The wood of the wind,
A cliff, a fall,
A scratch, a lump,
It is nothing at all
It's the wind blowing free,
It's the end of the slope,
It's a beam, it's a void,
It's a hunch, it's a hope
And the river bank talks
of the waters of March,
It's the end of the strain,
The joy in your heart
The foot, the ground,
The flesh and the bone,
The beat of the road,
A slingshot's stone
A fish, a flash,
A silvery glow,
A fight, a bet,
The range of a bow
The bed of the well,
The end of the line,
The dismay in the face,
It's a loss, it's a find
A spear, a spike,
A point, a nail,
A drip, a drop,
The end of the tale
A truckload of bricks
in the soft morning light,
The shot of a gun
in the dead of the night
A mile, a must,
A thrust, a bump,
It's a girl, it's a rhyme,
It's a cold, it's the mumps
The plan of the house,
The body in bed,
And the car that got stuck,
It's the mud, it's the mud
Afloat, adrift,
A flight, a wing,
A hawk, a quail,
The promise of spring
And the riverbank talks
of the waters of March,
It's the promise of life
It's the joy in your heart
A stick, a stone,
It's the end of the road
It's the rest of a stump,
It's a little alone
A snake, a stick,
It is John, it is Joe,
It's a thorn in your hand
and a cut in your toe
A point, a grain,
A bee, a bite,
A blink, a buzzard,
A sudden stroke of night
A pin, a needle,
A sting, a pain,
A snail, a riddle,
A wasp, a stain
A pass in the mountains,
A horse and a mule,
In the distance the shelves
rode three shadows of blue
And the riverbank talks
of the waters of March,
It's the promise of life
in your heart, in your heart
A stick, a stone,
The end of the road,
The rest of a stump,
A lonesome road
A sliver of glass,
A life, the sun,
A knife, a death,
The end of the run
And the riverbank talks
of the waters of March,
It's the end of all strain,
It's the joy in your heart.
Obrigado!
How can these have great Rhymes in English also? Somebody get me a doctor!
I wish I could remember these lyrics without cheating, haha! They do come to mind when others do the heavy lifting : - )
I prefer the Portuguese version of course, but the English version is also really beautiful!
@@maksim_tak I agree, both are beautiful, but in the original language, which is more lyrical and musical than English, I'm sure it's more poetic.
The "solo" of them whistling in unison makes me very, very happy.

My favorite all time song and favorite version of it. Absolutely magical.
My god!!
One of the most beautiful things I've ever heard !! this song touches the soul so sweet and engaging !! tom jobim was a genius !! and elis regina e ~ is the greatest brazilian singer that ever existed !!
WOW! i love the song and the video. As a musician, I love the arrangement, especially the chord changes - very
sophisticated.
Jobim was all about the chords! "One Note Samba" is a brilliant study of that.
I can't seem to stop listening to/watching this!
Same here...
I love Elis Regina...RIP, pretty lady :-(
Absolutely PERFECT. Arguably one of the greatest songs ever written.
HERMOSA CANCIÓN... UN RITMO CONTAGIOSO PROPIO DEL BOSSA NOVA!!!

Pure joy. This little song makes all the troubles fly away.
This means so much to me, this song is very special. Your description just opened up my eyes to the meaning behind a song that held a lot of significance to a trip i made with my mum. when i play it to her she smiles like she's showing the joy in her heart of the memory of some really special times we shared. thankyou !
Never gets old. I can hear this song over and over. LOVE it!! They must be in heaven having a grand time singing together. Great duet!
I love their chemistry.
Perfection.
This is my second daughter's favorite duo she loves playing it in the morning 😄
This song fills me with joie de vivre...& goose bumps :D
Chega a ser engraçado a maioria dos comentários ser inglês, pois os brasileiros estão mto ocupados ouvindo...bem...deixa pra lá...
Linda música, interpretação musical perfeita de Elis e Jobim
Você não está sozinha...
+Patrick Vinicius :3 Não estamos Uff'.
Eu fico feliz, em ver que tante gente pelo mundo aprecia música boa, cantada em português. Elis e Tom são imortais.
Talvez porque brasileiros procuram por Aguas de março, e não waters of march
¿Y si lo digo en español? Que música tan bella, me encanta toda la música de mis hermanos brasileños!
0:13 my father use to play this when I was 10 yrs old and I remember it so clearly… love Brazil 🥰
Heard this for the first time today on the BBC radio. It touched me. Wonderful. I then looked for it on youtube and found so many versions. Timeless!
this is the sweetest video -- I love this song, so much admire Tom Jobim as a songwriter, and am deeply moved by the delight Elis Regina and Jobim show in their duet, plus the pure joy of the music. Thanks for posting this. A classic!
One of the most beautiful sounds my ears have ever heard.
There are certain things in life that are divine and privileged and yet right there for anyone to experience and this video is one of those rare, rare, things. It doesn't matter that the camera work drives you crazy, nor that they are only dubbing rather than recording live. If you doubt that look closely at Jobim. At moments he starts singing before his mouth opens and vice versa nor does his voice fade in and out when he pivots away from the mike. So they are making this video to the famous and universally beloved recording of this song that they made together and that everyone knows and loves. So what? It is a treasure to be thankful for. And I am.
Totally agree. My body moves and my heart swells with this song.
I think they're singing along to the original, there is energy in their movement. They are so adorable.
makes my heart sing
Love the sound of Portuguese.
Music the gift of love, joy, sadness, despair, hope and pride
Nothing quite like watching this. They are absolutely Loving what they’re doing
Came here from twitter after this was cited as a brilliant example of the use of the shepard effect. Love it. So beautiful.
profonde émotion devant le génie modeste , la perfection...
Crazy about this song, it always relaxes me. That's my song before i fall asleep ❤
My go to, when the world seems too bleak. The unrestrained joy and creativity on display here is wonderful.
Sublime. What a performance, what a song!
Elis Regina and Tom Jobim
This is priceless !
Most people don't t know.
I have been familiar with this recording for a long time and was always amused by the camaraderie between the two of them and Elis Regina trying to contain her laughter. Finally I got to see the video and it is charming as I hoped it would be.
A.C. Jobim & Ellis Regina performed this Jobim gold nugget "Aguas de Marco" at a Summer evening LA Hollywood Bowl Jazz concert decades ago I 'surely didn't want to end
this video just made me inexplicably happy. I love it. with all of my everything. thanks for sharing. I especially appreciate your commentary.
The connection between these two is so magical! Love it! :)
god i haven't heard/watched this for 10+ years. this song and particularly this version (and also the one with morelenbaum) has healed me (and my worries!) a hundred times since my college days in the early 2000s and i forgot its magic since i last heard it back in maybe 2010! i learned portuguese very well from listening constantly to jobim/gilberto bossa nova since the 90s in middle school and high school and the lyrics are just as amazing
This song fill my heart ,and always give good vibes.great music.
E esse tipo de música que faz eu senti orgulho do meu Brasil
I have always loved this song, even without knowing the language, it still amazing song and a very positive vibe 💯
Best version ever...
Bossa Nova es lo mejor! No hay otro género tan dulce como ella! Viva la vida
This song was a background song on a commercial on television AYALA MALL in Philippines during 1994.
I'd been looking for this for for almost 26 years. Finally found on youtube accidentally.
and you liked it?
I've never heard of Elis Regina. Beautiful singing! I have heard of Antonio Carlos Jobim. I've never heard of him referred to as *"Tom"* Jobim before. I knew he comoposed some great songs, but I didn't know he sang as well.
In Brazil, he is known as Tom Jobim, maybe you'll find more of his beautiful songs looking for his nickname since no one here ever called him antonio carlos :)
Dont understand a single word but its BEAUTIFUL! 💕❤️
Waters of March - English translation
A stick, a stone,
its the end of the road,
It’s what’s left of a stump,
It’s a little alone
It’s a sliver of glass,
It is life, it’s the sun,
It is night, it is death,
It’s a snare, it’s a gun
It’s the blossoming field,
It’s the candlelight’s blush,
It’s the knot in the wood,
it’s the song of the thrush
It’s the wood of the wind,
It’s the cliff and the fall,
It is Mystery’s depths,
It is nothing at all
It’s the wind blowing free,
It’s the crest of the slope,
It’s a beam, it’s a bay,
it’s the thrill at the top.
It’s the rain raining down,
it’s a wild flood of talk,
as March waters dissolve
all the cares of the heart.
The foot, the ground,
it’s the heavy walk home,
it’s the bird in the hand,
it’s the slingshot’s fresh stone.
It’s a bird in the sky,
It’s a bird in the wood,
It’s a stream, it’s a spring,
it’s a morsel of food.
It’s the base of a well,
it’s the end of the line,
the dismay on a face,
it’s a loss, it’s a find.
It’s a spear, it’s a spike
it’s a tale, it’s a bill,
it’s a tip, it’s a top, a drop
dripping at will.
A fish, a flash,
a silvery glow,
it’s the fresh morning light,
it’s the spring of a bow
It’s a truckload of wood,
it’s the pain of the bite
it’s cachaça drunk straight
on the street in the night
It’s the plan of the house,
it’s a body in bed,
it’s the car that got stuck,
it’s the mud, it’s the mud!
A step, a bridge,
a frog and a child,
it’s the landscape alive
in the fresh morning light
And the waters of March
put the summer to sleep
with the promise of life
that the heart gets to keep.
It’s a snake, it’s a stick,
it is John, it is Joe,
it’s a thorn in the hand,
it’s a cut to the toe.
And the waters of March
put the summer to sleep
with the promise of life
that the heart gets to keep.
A stick, a stone,
its the end of the road,
It’s what’s left of a stump,
It’s a little alone
A step, a bridge,
a frog and a child
It’s a lovely horizon,
it’s a fever gone wild
And the waters of March
put the summer to sleep,
with the promise of life
that the heart gets to keep.
-Pau, -Edra, -Im, -Inho
-Aco, -Idro, -Ida, -Ol
And the waters of March
put the summer to sleep,
with the promise of life
that the heart gets to keep.
Like fine wine, you don't appreciate it at first then you evolve to the level where you savor it because you have discovered a new world...that is quality living.
you dont appreciate it at first because you may ne ignorant
I've watched it so many times, getting much pleasure.
Maravilhosa Elis e o gênio Tom. Impossível não ser perfeito. Ouvir essa música é maravilhoso e pra quem sabe tocar e cantar e um presente especial. Vc se sente maravilhosamente um pouquinho desses dois eternos.
Not a word understood but I love this song. first heard in on the show SeaLab2021
Wonderful Sound. It is one of my favorite songs. !!! Nicely Done Duo Team
One of my all time favorite songs. You can feel the joy ❤️
Eu sou carioca, obrigado Elis e tom , viva a bossa nova e o rio de janeiro !
It’s february 2022, let’s see how many legends are listening to this masterpiece
02:45 The vibes after the storm ✨️
Classic when it's good you don't have to speak the language beautiful.
Wow I finally found it. My mom had a CD with all these kind of songs in her car. Amazing music.
i 've been looking for this song for ages. i couldn't rem the name.. i was searching for ides of march, the ides of spring, tides of spring, then i stumbled onto it.
i can play this song over and over and over and each time i hear it i...
+Narred Darr What is the rest of your sentence...each time you hear it, you...? I agree, btw, this song is so uplifting & goose bumpy :D
each time i hear it i feel profoundly changed but i cannot truly put it in words. i don't understand most of what they sing cos i only know tiny amounts of Portuguese and Spanish and studied Latin a long time ago.
but it doesn't matter because each time i invent my own little lyrical version in my head... based on the title, of course... the way you feel in the spring, the way your attitude changes toward women, the way everything seems to come alive around, everything smells diffferent.
i wish i could express myself better but that's about it
Yes, I agree...there's just something about it that is very moving, uplifting, sweet, profound, catchy, etc, etc...sort of everything good :D
it must be interesting thinking about the song in this new perspective of spring, cause since Brazil is in the southern hemisphere, the song actually talks about autumn.
I got here with “Portuguese jazz duet” after realizing it must not be Spanish, took me about a week to figure it out 😅
If not a video, it would sound terrific, but it so delightful to see these two immortal legends having fun and playful making music to delight everyone, even me who don’t speak Portuguese!
They're actually lip synching to their earlier recording.
Pure magic! One of the most beautiful ever written. Timeless! 🤗❤
I've been listening to this song for years and never knew there was a video of it being recorded. It's exactly as I imagined especially with Elis laughing and smiling at the end. Love this song
Beautiful language and song. I love the duet of Jobim and Pat Metheny playing ‘Insensitive.’
Ritmo, voz, talento, y sobre todo....sensualidad!....viva Brasil!..👍👍👏👏
I LOVE this song!
a galera ta tão ocupada ouvindo funk que esquece que tem musica de verdade no youtube tom jobim o melhor cantor que o brasil ja pode ver
Back when artists were ARTISTS - NO digital assurance,it's an art to this shit - ment something - TRUE talent
The means of production do not matter. What matters is the emotion they create. Soon machines will be better than artists at stimulating our brain. So what? So nothing. Just enjoy! That's what you were made for.
All of this was prerecorded brother
Love Jobim and Getz but it still took Sealab 2021 to show me this song. Still in love with it.
É pau, é pedra, é o fim do caminho
é um resto de toco, é um pouco sozinho
é um caco de vidro, é a vida, é o sol
é a noite, é a morte, é um laco, é o anzol
é peroba do campo, é o nó da madeira
cainga, candeia, é o Matita Pereira
É madeira de vento, tombo da ribanceira
é o mistério profundo
é o queira ou nao queira
é o vento ventando, é o fim da ladeira
é a viga, é o vao, festa da cumeeira
é a chuva chovendo, é conversa ribeira
das aguas de marco, é o fim da canseira
é o pé, é o chao, é a marcha estradeira
passarinho na mao, pedra de atiradeira
Uma ave no céu, uma ave no chao
é um regato, é uma fonte
é um pedaco de pao
é o fundo do poco, é o fim do caminho
no rosto o desgosto, é um pouco sozinho
É um estrepe, é um prego
é uma ponta, é um ponto
é um pingo pingando
é uma conta, é um conto
é um peixe, é um gesto
é uma prata brilhando
é a luz da manha, é o tijolo chegando
é a lenha, é o dia, é o fim da picada
é a garrafa de cana, o estilhaco na estrada
é o projeto da casa, é o corpo na cama
é o carro enguicado, é a lama, é a lama
é um passo, é uma ponte
é um sapo, é uma ra
é um resto de mato, na luz da manha
sao as aguas de marco fechando o verao
é a promessa de vida no teu coracao
É pau, é pedra, é o fim do caminho
é um resto de toco, é um pouco sozinho
é uma cobra, é um pau, é Joao, é José
é um espinho na mao, é um corte no pé
sao as aguas de marco fechando o verao
é a promessa de vida no teu coracao
É pau, é pedra, é o fim do caminho
é um resto de toco, é um pouco sozinho
é um passo, é uma ponte
é um sapo, é uma ra
é um belo horizonte, é uma febre terca
sao as aguas de marco fechando o verao
é a promessa de vida no teu coracao
É pau, é pedra, é o fim do caminho
é um resto de toco, é um pouco sozinho
É pau, é pedra, é o fim do caminho
é um resto de toco, é um pouco sozinho
Pau, pedra, fim do caminho
resto de toco, pouco sozinho
Pau, pedra, fim do caminho,
resto de toco, pouco sozinho.

Thank you! Muoto obrigado!
siemon j. franken ohhhh I Love you for this. Thank you for the words 😍❤️🌹
Well done bro
Ta boa❤
I'm an American new to the beauty of Brazilian Bossa Nova, and I want to sing the argentinian version so bad. Almost got it!
It took me 3 years and I finally found it. I’m crying
Could they be any cuter? Love this.
This is infectious. I love this
This is absolutely wonderful
