Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your love is rain,my heart the flower
I need your love or I will die
My very life is in your power
Will I wither and fade or bloom to the sky
Água de beber
Água de beber
Água de beber camará
(Scat)
The rain can fall on distant deserts
Ooh,rain can fall upon the sea
The rain can fall upon the flower
If the rain is to fall let it fall on me
Água de beber
Água de beber camará
Água de beber
Água de beber camará
Água de beber,yeah,yeah,yeah
Água de beber camará
Água de beber, aqua de beber
Água de beber camará

The lyrics of Sophie Milman's Agua De Beber beautifully showcase the power of love through the imagery of rain and flowers. The singer's heart is compared to a flower, and their love is portrayed as rain, necessary for the flower (heart) to survive. The lyrics express the idea that love is not just something that is wanted or desired but essential, as without it, the heart (flower) will wither and die. The power of love to give life or take it away is further highlighted by the lyrics, "My very life is in your power. Will I wither and fade or bloom to the sky."
The chorus of the song, "Agua De Beber," which translates to "water to drink," adds another layer to the song's meaning. Water is a necessity of life, just like love, and the use of the phrase "camara" throughout the chorus emphasises the pleasurable nature of consuming water, making it also enjoyable for the soul.
Overall, Sophie Milman's "Agua De Beber" is a beautiful song about love, where the lyrics compare love to life-giving rain and the importance of it to one's existence.
