Agua de Beber - Astrud Gilberto

A refreshing Bossa Nova number to cool you down during an Indian Summer.



English Translation

I wanted to love but was afraid
I wanted to protect my heart
But love knows a secret
Fear can kill the heart

This is sweet water
Sweet water, my friend
This is sweet water
Sweet water, my friend

I never did a thing so certain
I learned of forgiveness (Literal: I entered the school of forgiveness)
My house is open
I opened all the doors of my heart

This is sweet water
Sweet water, my friend
This is sweet water
Sweet water, my friend

Portuguese

Eu quis amar, mas tive medo
E quis salvar meu coração
Mas o amor sabe um segredo
O medo pode matar o seu coração

Água de beber, camará
Água de beber
Água de beber, camará

Entrei pra escola do perdão
A minha casa vive aberta
Abre todas as portas do coração
