água de beber
Antônio Carlos Jobim Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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.
The lyrics to Antônio Carlos Jobim's "Água de Beber" are about love, fear, and vulnerability. In the first verse, Jobim sings about his desire to love, but also his fear of getting hurt. He wanted to protect his heart but realizes that love has a secret that fear can kill your heart. The chorus talks about the healing properties of water to drink, but also to love. The water is a metaphor for something that nourishes you and is like love. In the second verse, Jobim talks about how he learned a lesson that forgiveness is important, and he has opened up his heart to everyone. The final verse speaks about how Jobim's been disappointed in love many times, and he's learned that love brings sadness and too much pain to the heart.
The lyrics are very poetic and beautifully written. They show a deep understanding of love and vulnerability, and how important it is to open up and be forgiving. The metaphor of water being like love is very powerful, and it brings a sense of peace and hope. Overall, "Água de Beber" is a beautiful song with a message that everyone can relate to.
