Água De Beber
Paich Orchestra The Marty Lyrics

In "Agua De Beber," the Paich Orchestra's adaptation of the original song by Brazilian composer Antônio Carlos Jobim and poet Vinicius de Moraes, the lyrics convey the mixed emotions associated with love, fear, and vulnerability. The opening lines, "I wanted to love but I was afraid, and I wanted to save my heart," suggest the singer's reluctance to fully commit to a relationship out of fear of getting hurt. However, the lyrics reveal that love holds a secret that only it knows, and that succumbing to fear can be detrimental to one's heart.

As the song progresses, the singer talks about their experiences with love, including the realization that forgiveness is key in any relationship, and the importance of keeping an open heart. The repeated refrain of "agua de beber, agua de beber camara" (water to drink, water to drink camaraderie), suggests that drinking water can provide a refreshing and rejuvenating experience, much like the feeling of love that can bring people together in camaraderie.

The final verse, "I always had a certainty that only gave me disillusion, that love is a sadness, too much hurt for one heart," acknowledges the pain that can come with love, but also suggests that this pain can be worthwhile. Overall, the lyrics of "Agua De Beber" explore the complex emotions that come with love and encourage listeners to embrace vulnerability and open themselves up to connection.
