Água De Beber
GILBERTO Astrud JOBIN Antonio Carlos Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Eu quis amar
Mas tive medo
E quis salvar
Meu coracao

Mas o amor
Sabe um segredo
O medo pode matar
O seu coracao

Agua de beber
Agua de beber camará
Agua de beber
Agua de beber camará

Eu nunca fiz
Coisa tao certa
Entrei pra escola
Do perdao

A minha casa
Viva aberta
Abri todas as portas
Do coracao

Agua de beber
Agua de beber camará




Agua de beber
Agua de beber camará

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Agua De Beber" by Gilberto Astrud, Jobin Antonio Carlos is a beautiful expression of love and the fear that comes with it. The singer longed to love but was afraid to do so, fearing that it may lead to heartache. However, the song suggests that love has a secret that allows it to overcome fear, a sentiment that is beautifully depicted in the lyrics "O amor sabe um segredo, o medo pode matar o seu coração" ("Love knows a secret, fear can kill your heart").


Furthermore, the lyrics talk about how the singer has never done anything right but when he entered the school of forgiveness, he found a sense of peace and happiness that he hadn't experienced before. The singer's heart was open, and he had finally learned to let love conquer his fears.

Hola.
Dedico esta hermosa y melodiosa canción , a todas las brasileñas. Mujeres dulces , acogedoras , tiernas , simpáticas , proactivas , trabajadoras , con mucha personalidad , independientes y seguras de si mismas. Yo soy chileno y , todos esos atributos , jamás los han tenido ni los tendrán la mayoría de las mujeres chilenas.
Doy gracias a Dios que , la mayor parte de las latinas , no son para nada como la mujer de mi país , y éso es grandioso.
Gracias por subir el video.
Saludos desde Chile , Sudamérica.

Hi.
I dedicate this beautiful and melodious song to all Brazilian women. Sweet, welcoming, tender, friendly, proactive, hard-working women, with a lot of personality , independent and sure of themselves. I am Chilean, and all these attributes have never been, nor will most Chilean women ever have.
I thank God that most Latinas are not at all like the women of my country, and that is great.
Thanks for uploading the video.
Greetings from Chile, South America.

I’m 25 year old italian girl. Six years ago I listened this beautiful song for the first time (thanks to Mad Men) and I fell in love with it, then I listened to other bossa nova-style songs and it became my favorite musical style. I love brazil! 💞

My ex husband was her drummer for a while. He recorded one of their shows and had the tape on cassette. She even said all of the players names during the show, including his. I loved that tape. He also had a photo of her in his album. Told me some stories and he had mentioned that his friend, the keyboardist had the biggest crush on her lol
