I miss Elis so much. Her loss was such a tragedy. She had such a great smile and laugh. I used to watch the tv variety show she co-hosted with Jair Rodrigues when I was growing up in Brasil. Her big hit Upa Neginho had a huge effect on me. Brasilian music is the richest in the world.
I rather like the version that she recorded with Jobim in 1974. It is Verve CD # 824 418-2, titled simply "Elis & Tom.' On it you can also hear her work the syncopation to exquisite subtlety on the third cut "So Tinha de Ser Com Voce" Listen to her caress the beat as the song winds down - amazing.
i am a brazilian and it there is so many good songs like vambora by adriana calcanhoto and ja sei namora by the tribalistas and-wait if i continue i'll get carried away....i was born in brazil and so i listen to songs like this in my car because both of my parents are also brazilians as well....
the played this on radio bbc scotland yesterday and I've been trying to learn it all day today, i'm that taken with it. I since found out that it's one of Portugal's all time favourites, and no wonder- it's like sanskrit verse, you know, "enlightened", aswell as some really classy jazz piano and that very characterisically sexy potuguese female voice. It just really good!
I'm just discovering this singer, for the first time, today. I love this song (I love the Brazillian ppl, esp the females ; ) ....that's what lead me to this song AGAIN, on U-Tube. The very first time I heard this song (btw) Al Jaureau did it with Oleta Adams (both American). I think this singer is superb!!!
@KassanovaBrowne Yes, she was a top singer in Brazil. Now her daughter Maria Rita is also a good singer. Actually, I heard this is supposed to be just a rehearsal!...
to me this symbolizes the chaos that life can cause ... the waters of march crashing through brazil .... makes you worry and be happy for the stability in your life ... but and I say that it is a false stability because in life you need change exciting times and that is what living is all about your heart yearns for more hence the line "..it's the promise of life in your heart ...."
Will never get over this genius. Every song (even those I disliked in the American music market), she has made me feel them and live/sing in me. As France gave us Edith Piaf, Portugal gave us Amalia and fado, America Elvis, Brasil gave us Elis. After over 40 years in the music industry as a singer, how is it possible I never heard of her until YOUTUBE recommended her? A mystery here. On my one hand. I count her as one of the "annointed". There will NEVER be another like her.

"Recordar é viver", por isso me lembrei de lhes trazer hoje a recordação de um dos maoires talentos musicais e interpretativos que o Brasil já teve. Creio que não será presiso dizer o nome nem acrescentar mais adjectivos ....
The video breaks up too often to get a proper sense of the rythmn and melody....too bad; she sounded nice in the fleeting seconds I could hear the song
This song and performance make me weep every time I hear it. When she laughs at the end, I'm done for. How did the Brazillians come up with the most bittersweet music on earth? jrs
Great song- it is the end of summer here in the S. Hemisphere so it could not be more perfect- thank you so much for posting this very uplifting song. I really appreciate the English lyrics being included since I do not know Portuguese!
There are very few things in this world that are perfect in every way............How ironic that a piece of music with lyrics that are a flow of consciousness, and forever drifting timing between words and music cold achieve this goal. It is perfect.......
this song was writen in one of the cities which was hit by floods and catastrophic landslide in Rio de Janeiro state 2011, seems he sadly predicted the disaster
city name sao jose do vale do rio preto..wonderful song!
The waters of March, this year, are falling in January! The sky is falling and hundreds are the dead and homeless in Rio and São Paulo. When the things started like this, is better start to pray because March will be worse.
My prayers go out to all those caught in such conditions, If I may ask, are you vagflu07 living in Brazil if so please feel free to give us/me your opinion on your weather, has it changed, if so then how has it changed?
Thanks
Águas de Março and Elis Regina stands for me within the top 100 songs and singers ever created by us humans
@MrBiejos the weather is strange. The heat each year grows, but the rain are falling not in frebruary an March, but in January. Last year, the city of Rio had suffered with the tropical rain in April, autumn. I live in Rio and the cities of the mountain region of the state are devastated. Almost thousand deaths and so many are missing and homeless. The truth is we never felt the heat like this summer. Yesterday marked 41º celsius.
@vagflu07 Obrigado minha amigo for your personal weather report. Very sad conditions to live through and my heart and prayers reach out to try to comfort all. Yes! Carnival must carry on!!!! Even with the recent fire occurring Carnival is the spirit of the people and their spirit will shine through regardless of all fire destroyed costumes; It's a good sign that no one was killed. My prayers [intent] of good go out into this world with a little extra to the excellent people of Brazil!!
By the way, Caingá is a kind of tree, can also be a reference to some Tupi-Guarani indians that can be found at Mato Grosso (really far away! I never saw any of them) and Candeia is an old kind of lamp that don't need electrical energy to work!
Elis Regina is one of ower greatest singer... But we have another great singers, Elis Regina's daughter, Maria Rita, is an amazing singer too.
@Ylinets lol, i think we're both dramatics.. :} but serious, who could not appreciate such a lovable person and to think her early passing was so avoidable?
@lpolonl Gostei da tradução pq apesar de stubborn não significar terçã, o tradutor captou o real sentido da letra que seria algo como "febre que não passa" ou "febre teimosa". My opinion :-)
Listed to Jobim for years but only yesterday did i wonder who sang this so wonderfully and laughed so playfully whilst singing the lyrics..A check online told the sad story of this songbirds premature departure from this world.What a loss.
Along with Seu Georges soundtrack to The Life Aquatic With Steven Zissou, this song that was my intro to the language that still seems to baffle me. But with the subtitles, this is yet another primer for me. Otimo.
Funny how a song u hear as a 15 year old boy but resonates inside, makes complete sense as a 46 year old man & resonates in my what the 15 yr old couldn't identify as SOUL.
My mind travels a lot when I heard this man. There´s a game called The Sims, and it has many Bossa´s Songs, I recomend these songs for you all. Besides I´ve to agree with you, the Brazilian Portuguese is a very cute language.
I usually never comment on anything but felt compelled to sign in. This song just touched me!!!!!!!!!!
this was absolutely ........ outstanding!!!!! the depth of artistry is just beyond words. I loved it and I love her. She was awesome! Wish I would have known her and Tom Jobim playing is IMPECCABLE!!! Bravo!!
The interplay between these two musical geniuses at the end is so unbelievable!!
A correction - the other musical genius you refer to (besides Elis Regina) is not Tom Jobim...it's the wonderfully talented Brazilian pianist, Cesar Camargo Mariano. He pioneered the rhythmic style of playing that you see in this video (left hand and right hand playing different rhythms simultaneously). But anyway...the video is awesome...thanks for sharing it, mmtrh!
@goinforabeer1 "GO IN FOR A BEER..." your nick just told me what to say about this song and this singer... yep, "An Artist And a Song Beyond Words". More than that, just a beer can tell us... lis, lol, rss...
Mina, the great Italian singer, sang this very smae song in Italian, under the tilte of "La Pioggia di Marzo". I truly recommend it, even though she doesn't have that thing the Brazilian singers have...perhaps it's the famous "saudade"??? I don't know, but I like it still!
I'd agree...their performance is "surreal" and "poco" means in a way, "it's nothing". It's a "little..." Life is good if all anybody needed to say is "poco"... here are lot's who'd rather hang on and be that bump on a log or the "mud" where the car was stuck. Great song...thx for posting this fresh performance.
It's a happy song I think...a "cycle of life", with the "promise of Spring". Tempo is pretty regular in this performance...I see this song as optimistic.
Wonderful song! Elis was fascinating. I have all her records. Perfect song lyrics and music. I have this video, I will soon make the corrections requested and post it here on Youtube. Anyone who has doubts about the Brazilian Portuguese, so to speak is that I can help.
Thank you! I start my day listening to them as well as Michael Buble. Even on my facebook I'm telling my friends to listen to them. A pure perfection of style
...Em apenas um mês foram 8.441 visualisações. Este é um vídeo que se você assistir, nunca mais vai esquecer. Realmente são cenas incriveis e extraordinarias que chamou atenção até do pessoal da PARAMOUNT e UNIVERSAL. Um vídeo que simplesmente está fazendo o mundo inteiro pensar. Harrison Ford disse que este vídeo trouxe uma nova esperança para a humanidade. Veja este vídeo incrivel no Youtube que é PIMPÃO MATA PREFEITO .
Personally, I agree with someone who stated somewhere that Elis Regina & Tom Jobim's "Waters of March" is the definitive. Very haunting, very nostalgic....
@mmtrh the native indians always lived here then portuguese people to conquer brazil , similar with what happened in united staes with the native indians, but brazil is the only country in south america where portuguese is spoken
If only I had been old enough before she passed away, perhaps I could have seen her in person and gotten an autograph and maybe kissed her hand...ahhhhh!
So many comments on this post since a few years ago that is hard to reply to all. Today I want to see it again after reading your comments so that I get inspired for the day, while sipping my morning coffee. Thanks for the words.
Thank you, yes, I too often play this while drinking my morning coffee and getting ready for the world. Ever since I've been getting into the sounds of Bossa Nova I am loving it and telling friends about it. Seems like my generation missed this. (born 60s or 70s)
Tenia quizas unos 12 años, cuando sali de mi ciudad natal Montevideo-Uruguay hacia la ciudad de Rivera frontera abierta con Brasil.Fue por esos años que Murio la artistas.Los medios de comunicación no cesaban de hablar de ella.Ahi quise saber por que lloraba Brasil...y termine llorando yo...impresionate Elis, grande marcastes mi vida también.
Muito obrigado. Myres ! ! ! Todo o meu Portugûes e do youtube. Seu fão do Ray Conniff, com 300 cancãos de RC em os playlists em o meu canal.
I had another version of this performance that was killed by yt and only now found yours - I am most grateful!
Thanks for the comment on my famous name - did you see my 1 upload where I introduce myself? As musicians, you might really like my channel with 110 years of pop music from around the world, one year playlisted at a time.
Does anyone know where this version originated from? I like this arrangement better than the arrangement on the Tom & Elis album. Wonderful, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for that info Almendrajr, I agree with gold that this version is the best out there..and her expressions are priceless..so sad the world lost her!
Reply to zxcas.... or whatever the fuck your slimy little name is. If you didnt like the music i recomeded I completely respect that! But theres no need to trash talk! And if you read my recommendation properly you would see that I didnt ever say that the song had anything to do with Regina! I said it was a mix. Grupo Tom Do Pagode make amazing covers of Brazilian classics. Trust me, I know Brazil and Brazilian music a alot better then you! Grow some taste, and then maybe some brain cells!
Brazilian Portugese is one of the most beautiful languages in the world, thats why the music is so poetic and emotional. Its incredible! If anyone wants to hear an amazing mix of this song download the version by "Grupo Tom Do Pagode". Its a really great, quirky version. R.I.P Ellis Regina! You and your music will live for ever. Estou com muitos saudades de voce! Fica com Deus! xxxX
This song talks about the effects of the ending summer and the massive rain that falls down in March.
That´s a landscape of a turning season to another.
When the rain stops and the rivers back to the nromal level, we can see the destruction and these things on the streets - in this case, in Rio de Janeiro, home of Tom Jobim: woods, things, brids, an other things like stones.
These translations aren't quite correct but she is magnificient.

@davidpatrone Its not a translation. Carlos Jobim, who wrote the original song, wrote the lyrics both in Portugese and in English.

I'd agree...their performance is "surreal" and "poco" means in a way, "it's nothing". It's a "little..." Life is good if all anybody needed to say is "poco"... here are lot's who'd rather hang on and be that bump on a log or the "mud" where the car was stuck. Great song...thx for posting this fresh performance.

It's a happy song I think...a "cycle of life", with the "promise of Spring". Tempo is pretty regular in this performance...I see this song as optimistic.

Personally, I agree with someone who stated somewhere that Elis Regina & Tom Jobim's "Waters of March" is the definitive. Very haunting, very nostalgic....
... a pure joy to listen to, this song.

These isn't the literal translation, it's just the English version subtitled. The actual translation varies a little.

Thank you, yes, I too often play this while drinking my morning coffee and getting ready for the world. Ever since I've been getting into the sounds of Bossa Nova I am loving it and telling friends about it. Seems like my generation missed this. (born 60s or 70s)

Tenia quizas unos 12 años, cuando sali de mi ciudad natal Montevideo-Uruguay hacia la ciudad de Rivera frontera abierta con Brasil.Fue por esos años que Murio la artistas.Los medios de comunicación no cesaban de hablar de ella.Ahi quise saber por que lloraba Brasil...y termine llorando yo...impresionate Elis, grande marcastes mi vida también.

Reply to zxcas.... or whatever the fuck your slimy little name is. If you didnt like the music i recomeded I completely respect that! But theres no need to trash talk! And if you read my recommendation properly you would see that I didnt ever say that the song had anything to do with Regina! I said it was a mix. Grupo Tom Do Pagode make amazing covers of Brazilian classics. Trust me, I know Brazil and Brazilian music a alot better then you! Grow some taste, and then maybe some brain cells!

Brazilian Portugese is one of the most beautiful languages in the world, thats why the music is so poetic and emotional. Its incredible! If anyone wants to hear an amazing mix of this song download the version by "Grupo Tom Do Pagode". Its a really great, quirky version. R.I.P Ellis Regina! You and your music will live for ever. Estou com muitos saudades de voce! Fica com Deus! xxxX

This song talks about the effects of the ending summer and the massive rain that falls down in March.
That´s a landscape of a turning season to another.
When the rain stops and the rivers back to the nromal level, we can see the destruction and these things on the streets - in this case, in Rio de Janeiro, home of Tom Jobim: woods, things, brids, an other things like stones.
This is a brazilian himn!
