1. One of the most… Read Full Bio ↴There are four bands with the name 'The Fevers'.
1. One of the most important vocal/instrumental groups of the Jovem Guarda, the Fevers, along with its solo discography, accompanied in recordings stars of the movement like Roberto Carlos, Erasmo Carlos, Wilson Simonal, Jorge Ben, and Trio Esperança. Their biggest hits were "De Que Vale Tanto Amor," "Sinto Mas Não Sei Dizer," "Pra Cima, Pra Baixo," and "Guerra dos Sexos" (which became the opening theme of a soap opera in 1983).
2. The Fevers are an American power-pop band from California. They have two LPs released on German label Alien Snatch records.
Drawing influence from 70’s power pop groups such as the Modernettes, Sire records era Flamin’ Groovies, as well as 60’s bubblegum acts like the Ohio Express and Joey Levin and garage proto-punks the Equals, Beau Brummels and the Small Faces (all of whom the band covered), the Fevers were always either decades too late or a decade ahead of their time (or maybe both).
Originally formed in San Jose, California by singer/ bassist Gavin May and guitarist Brian Hermosillo in the mid-90’s during the original “Budget Rock” boom, the band released a 7” e.p. on Lipstick records with drummer Kathy Walker (los Retardos/ Pinkz) and played a few shows featuring Darin Raffaelli (Supercharger/ Donnas svengali/ Donny Denim) before quietly breaking up.
At some point in the late 90’s May and Hermosillo found themselves in Minneapolis recording with producer Travis Ramin on drums. The band would release “Gaan Daar Waar De Meisjes Zijn” (“Go Where the Girls Are”) and “Love Always Wins” for Germany’s Alien Snatch label as well as the “Don’t Tell Me It’s Wrong” b/w “He’s In Town” 45 for Get Hip records and the “Get On Again” b/w “Can’t Be True” 45 for Plastic Idol records.
Gavin stayed in San Jose and eventually started an even more 60’s influenced group called the Rantouls, while Brian stayed in Minn. fronting Skipper and the Sweet Faces as well as recording several solo demos. Travis of course continued producing and playing in several groups (most notably Nikki Corvette’s group). The band would tour Europe occasionally but fizzled.
Recently however, the original line up of Gavin, Brian and Kathy, found themselves all in the Bay Area and reunited for the eighth annual Budget Rock fest opening up for old friends the Brentwoods and the iconic Mummies, as well as backing Raffaelli’s short lived alter ego, Donny Denim. After the show spirits were high and there was buzz of more shows being a possibility.

The Fevers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que não lhe prometi um mar de rosas
Nem sempre o sol brilha
Também há dias em que a chuva cai
Se você quer partir pra viver
Por viver sem amor ouô ouô
Não tenho culpa
A promessa que eu fiz foi fazer você feliz
Eu queria que você entendesse
O quanto eu lhe quero
O quanto eu sou sincero
Se eu falasse talvez ao menos uma vez
Que o mundo inteiro à seus pés
Contente eu botaria
Isso eu não podia
Não há razão pra ser tão triste
Nosso amor ainda existe
Temos muito tempo para amar
Você bem sabe
Que não lhe prometi um mar de rosas
Nem sempre o sol brilha
Também há dias em que a chuva cai
Você bem sabe que não lhe prometi um mar de rosas
Se eu fizesse uma canção de todo coração
E nela eu confessasse que sem o seu amor
Eu não consigo viver
Você talvez até nem fosse entender
É bem melhor você pensar
No passo que vai dar
Pois há sempre alguém querendo ver
Um grande amor como o nosso no fim
Isso mesmo você disse pra mim
Não há razão pra ser tão triste
Nosso amor ainda existe
Temos muito tempo para amar
Você bem sabe
Que eu não lhe prometi um mar de rosas
Nem sempre o sol brilha
Também há dias em que a chuva cai
Você bem sabe
Que eu não lhe prometi um mar de rosas
Nem sempre o sol brilha
Também há dias em que a chuva cai
The lyrics of "Mar de Rosas" by The Fevers talk about a promise that was never made. The singer acknowledges that they never promised a perfect and easy life, but rather one that has both sunny and rainy days. The singer advises their partner to leave if they wish to live without love, but it's not their fault because they never promised a "sea of roses". Instead, the promise they made was to make their partner happy and to show how much they care and love them. The singer also expresses their wish to confess their love in a song but fears that their partner may not understand.
The lyrics are a reminder that promises need not always be grand gestures, but could be as simple as a promise to love and care for someone. It is also a reminder that life is not always easy, but if two people are willing to work together, nothing can stop them from loving each other. The lyrics of "Mar de Rosas" may also reflect the challenges faced by the band members during their career, where they faced both success and hardships, but the love of their fans and their passion for music kept them going strong.

Você bem sabe
You are well aware
Que não lhe prometi um mar de rosas

Nem sempre o sol brilha

There are also days when it rains
Se você quer partir pra viver
If you want to leave to live
Por viver sem amor ouô ouô
For living without love
Não tenho culpa
I am not to blame

The promise I made was to make you happy
Eu queria que você entendesse
I wanted you to understand

Isso eu não podia
I couldn't do that
Não há razão pra ser tão triste
There's no reason to be so sad
Nosso amor ainda existe
Our love still exists
Temos muito tempo para amar
We have plenty of time to love
Se eu fizesse uma canção de todo coração
If I made a song with all my heart
E nela eu confessasse que sem o seu amor
And in it I confessed that without your love
Eu não consigo viver
I can't live
Você talvez até nem fosse entender
Maybe you wouldn't even understand
É bem melhor você pensar
It's better for you to think
No passo que vai dar
About the step you're going to take
Pois há sempre alguém querendo ver
Because there's always someone wanting to see
Um grande amor como o nosso no fim
A great love like ours in the end
Isso mesmo você disse pra mim
That's exactly what you said to me
Você bem sabe
You are well aware
Que eu não lhe prometi um mar de rosas
That I did not promise you a bed of roses
Nem sempre o sol brilha
Not always the sun shines
Também há dias em que a chuva cai
There are also days when it rains

You are well aware
Que eu não lhe prometi um mar de rosas
That I did not promise you a bed of roses
Nem sempre o sol brilha
Not always the sun shines
Também há dias em que a chuva cai
There are also days when it rains

A versão mais linda dessa música no mundo é essa dos fevers de 1971 com Almir no vocal... esse contrabaixo é muito xique
Jurandir Fortes
Bonito mar de rosas, linda voz. Gto.
Victor Colonna
Esta versão não é mesmo "a mais linda". A versão original,com Lyn Anderson é um milhão de vezes melhor. A letra da versão dos Fevers é extremamente forçada!
