Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Eu quis amar mais tive medo
E quis salvar meu coração
Mas o amor sabe um segredo
O medo pode matar o seu coração

Água de beber
Água de beber camará
Água de beber

Água de beber camará

Eu nunca fiz coisa tão certa
Entrei pra escola do perdão
A minha casa vive aberta
Abri todas as portas do coração

Água de beber
Água de beber camará
Água de beber
Água de beber camará

Eu sempre tive uma certeza
Que só me deu desilusão
É que o amor é uma tristeza
Muita mágoa demais para um coração

Água de beber
Água de beber camará

Água de beber
Água de beber camará

Overall Meaning

The song "Agua De Berber" by A. Gilberto & A.C. Jobim is a beautiful bossa nova song that talks about love and the fear one has of getting hurt. The first verse talks about how the singer wanted to love someone but was afraid of getting hurt, so they tried to save their heart. However, the first verse also notes that love has a secret, and that secret is that fear can kill one's heart. This can be interpreted as the fear of getting hurt paradoxically making one more vulnerable to heartbreak.

The chorus "Água de Beber" which means "water to drink" in English, is repeated throughout the song and serves as a metaphor for love. The second verse speaks of the singer enrolling in the "school of forgiveness," which suggests that they have learned to forgive past hurts and are ready to open their heart again. They have also opened their house, or in other words, their heart, to others.

The final verse talks about the singer's realization that love is full of sadness and too much pain for one heart to bear. Despite this, they continue to seek love, represented by the repetition of the chorus "Água de Beber." This song encourages embracing vulnerability, forgiveness, and continuing to seek love despite the difficulties it may bring.

@@Beowulf_93Oh Great Mythical Hero, I had not thought about the technicality of it but I suppose you're right. To be honest, I have nothing against variations on a note, so to speak, when it is an essential element of the genre, as in Carnatic and Rai music, which I love. However, I find myself becoming irritated when the embellishments are intended to draw attention to the singer rather than to the song. Perhaps I'm just irritable.

Astrud Gilberto was an icon of the mid-1960s here in America. She just recently passed away at 83 years 'young' on June 5, 2023. Many don't know who she is, even seniors, but I do and I'll never forget her and that better time in history: 1964 - 65.
If you hear her songs sung in Brazilian Portuguese it's even prettier.

I was in a kind of rock band in college, everyone picked two songs on which they could sing or play whatever instrument they wanted; and we would learn all of the combined songs and then perform them at a theatre concert as well as a dance.

One girl picked this song but could not sing the Portugues at all. I fell in love with the song and was compelled to learn the song myself, which in turn made me fall for the language, as well. A year later I travelled to Brazil for two months; it was my first time out of the country; I flew from Anchorage, AK to Rio de Janeiro.

@@jackkerouak Yeah, going back after 2 months to Anchorage middle of winter was rough, lol. Thank you! I'll be back one day I'm sure.

I went when I was 19. In Alaska that's too young to drink or go into bars/clubs. I'd snuck in once or twice, but in Rio I was a kid in a candy store. I went with 2 friends; all 3 of us musicians, and two of us had been training Brazilian jiu jitsu for about a year, and we wanted to train down there. He was older than me, and once I got comfortable to the city life in Rio, at 19, rolling around on dirty mats with other men was the last thing on my mind. To be honest, so was traveling or doing anything touristy. We went to Bahia for a week for Carnaval (I got into Olodum and followed through the streets with them), but afterwards I felt homesick not for Alaska but for my apartment in Barra da Tijuca (we stayed in Leblon 1 month and Barra 1 month), and I missed the girls id met there and another friend id chanced to meet who I knew as a child back in Anchorage (that was crazy).

So I took a plane back to Rio and my other friends took a bus and traveled around Brazil a bit, I missed out on that cuz I just wanted to get back to rio.

But after I got back to Anchorage, I bought a book in the Tareveler's Tales series on Brazil; it's a compilation of stories and articles written by authors on their travelers ALL throughout the enormous country of Brazil. I was so fascinated by how many different kinds of places I got to visit through that book, and have yearned to go back to Brazil ever since. But next time I plan to spend my time traveling throughout the country, not spend it all playing guitar on the beach and going to clubs and meeting girls (though that is fun.)

As a teenager I fell big time for Bossa in the late 50s and as a drummer I immediately learned the beat. I'm 83 now and play in a Jazz trio. We do gigs and our fine Sax man, who is big Paul Desmond fan has incorporated many of Paul's Bossa/Samba numbers which I play on Bongos and that rhythm is very popular with even young people brought up on Rock.

That's the whole point! Her style is absolute purity. No frills, no gimmicks, no hitting five or ten notes to say just one word like singers of today! I've been a professional singer for over 50 years doing vocal and trumpet work with much success in every area I've worked. I strive for her style as much as I can because it is so well received! It seems to "touch" people's emotions like a universal truth.

I discovered it back in '83. Thank you Uncle Kendal and Thank you Mom and Dad for leaving the Walter Wanderly records for me to discover.

Sorry, but Bossa nova is not Jazz, and neither is Brazilian Jazz or some type of jazz, even though it may be similar but Bossa Nova came from a different way of playing samba and it is a Brazilian rhythm.

The mid-sixties, was the most amazing period in World music history. The post bop jazz movement, Blue Note Records- British invasion, Beatles- Motown, and this incredible music from Brazil. I'm glad I was there to witness all of it. It has never been equaled.

Here's where "drinking water" part comes from:
In Brazil, we have the expression "water that birds don't drink from" to refer to alcohol. So in contrast to that expression, "drinking water" could be interpreted as "sobriety".
Yet, a Brazilian musician Joao Bosco said that Vinicius was referring to aquavit, a distilled Norwegian spirit, in the song.

I guess you choose whether you want to see this song as about drowning you sorrows or getting sober after a heartbreak.

Singing with a perfect tone and no sign of vibrato is not as easy as you might think. It is an art form that is a signature sound for the songs of Antonio Carlos Jobim. It is also used for effect with musical instruments. Try it some time and you will be surprised at how much focus it takes.
