  • Bravo. Your talent is only mached by your good taste in music

  • Wow, this is fantastic. Your performance is wonderful! It is so obvious that this is from your heart and runs from your veins. My favorite Jobim tune of all time. Thank you. Happy New Year!

  • Awesome job :D beautiful! Definitely next on my list to learn~

  • saweeet!!! Love it

    

  • VERY NICE! :)

  • I love your version as much as I love the original! Good job!

  • Beautiful song by beautiful girl

  • wow, beautiful! amazing rendition, congrats

  • Comment removed

  • marry me. please.

  • English is great .. but for bossanova.. what can I say ??-. Portuguese sounds like a wave in the sea.. like a sweet breeze... is funny and it's serious, it's romantic and exotic.. ;) .. still you sing like an angel..

  • it's a lot better in portuguese and the english version i think it's not the original version... parabéns pela música!

  • You just like more the translation because you are used to it. The original version is wide much better. Poor Elis Regina...

  • Very good! Love bossa nova music! Check out my page.

  • Refreshing. Good to see such beautiful inspired Jobim music presented by such a fresh promising youthful talent. She gets it. I could watch her for hours And she CAN't whistle,

  • Congrats, parabéns :)

    Quanto amor ! Todo brazuka vai adorar.

  • Parabéns.

    É muito bom saber que a música brasileira não tem fronteiras. Que os americanos entendam um pouco da nossa felicidade... Cantar, cantar, cantar e festejar...

    Continue levando esse som para todos.

    Congratulations again. I loved the sound

  • Twenty thousand views, two years, and (only) 41 comments (?!?) later... still just fantastic.

    Weird... my life was in a good place when I discovered this video... now its in the shitter... and I still love this.

    Thank you for playing.

  • 凄い!!like this

  • Good singing and Playing for a difficult song like thisone

  • I agree it's one of Tom Jobim's best, which means it is the best of the best...I never tire of hearing it...

  • Adorabile

  • simplismente maravilhoso,adorei seu jeito de cantar,espero ver mais videos seus,beijos.

  • Great!!

  • Gringo fica de bobeira com nossa musicalidade

  • @arlesonsg

    Simply great!!

  • Since I heard this song by Susannah McCorkle, I am in love with it. After hearing the song, I couhgt the title, so I went to youtube & surched it. Many people sang the song, but I didn't like it. It was missing something, even when their voices sounded better, I didn't like the song sang by them. Finally I found one sang by Susannah & said "That's the singer". Cannot put finger on it, why I like it better. Probably of the rythm. When I heard you singing, I think you are even better. RU French?

  • Adorei!!!!!!! vc é d+

  • lovely. thank you for sharing such a beautiful tune. joyful, and beautifully sung. my compliments to you.

  • Wow. I was the 300th comment.  Awesome.

    97% thumbs up aint bad.

  • Questa canzone non è musica, è PARADISO.

  • Listen to the brilliant blissful music! To be able to play such tempos, sing, feel so wonderful in making music all by oneself...many have tried...it's what Joao Gilberto's taught us. Play your music, love it, and you can do it, and get better all your life! What lovely joyful feeling! Pay on! And Tom Jobim wrote the song, and the lyrics in both languages, and the English as usual aren't the same feel...but there was an original English lyric to the song I'd really like to find...

  • This is lovely!

  • I've watch this  dozens of times over several years now and it always makes me smile. Thank you so much!

  • Hey, you have a good voice!!! Very nice!!! Keep it up!!

  • O que é que isto, very beautifull, linda, de onde e esta garota?

  • herd a version done by Smoke city and I automatically fell in love with it...been trying to search for it for ages and came up with this...love this cover such a bueatiful song :-)

  • Possibly the best song in the history and sure one of the most difficoulds translations; u make a nice mix but the most i enjoy its ur smile, ur eyes and this yellow flip-flops in ur back. ive woud be nice to meet u and play with u... real nice... Greatings from Spain.

  • thanks, I always want to see a non-Brazilian singing this song.

    It's kind of funny but still beautiful.

    A beautil-funny version

  • PARABENS!!! ADOREI A VERSÃO.... "BOSSA NOVA EH APROMESSA DE VIDA EM NOSSOS CORAÇÕES................"

  • I love the joy in your face while singing it :)

  • esta bonito el cover....

  • I read somewhere that the lyrics depict a walk in the rain forest there...can't do much better than that, eh? Thx very much for this posting...A+++

  • Could you possibly post the chords you are playing?

  • Adorable! I love this song and your bossa nova guitar playing is fantastic. To anyone who posted negative comments, I'd love to hear YOU try and play that bossa nova rhythm while singing this song. You did a lovely job!

  • @luckymansb You´re right, and playing , singing AND smiling like this is nearly impossible...I love it also.

  • Brilliant rendition.  Quite enjoyed the whistling.

  • I, for one, really like the whistling. I like that it's "off"

    I think it ties in quite nicely with the tune, with the duality in many of the things mentioned in it, with this version as it sits with others, even with some of the more fiery comments.

    it reminds me of É uma cobra, é um pau - I study perception and neuroscience and it's neat how even the same person can see the same thing and get two different perceptions

    so it is with music (Deutsch UCSD studies this particularly)

  • uauuuu :-O awesome...

  • So Cute ;)

  • Nothing like the intimacy of one instrument and one voice, giving a sincere and heartfelt performance of a beautifully written and beloved song. Whenever I'm down or stressed I watch this video, and I'm left smiling and swaying. Thank you, from the bottom of my music-loving soul.

  • @Vagrarian

    I like it as a duet too

    I think the duet can really bring out that dualism - it's this / it's that

    in a neat neat very explicit way - almost opponents

    but a solo version can make it real intimate like a private reflection or rumination

    so I think it's good all kinds of ways.

  • Exelente cover , ritmo , cadencia y voz en verdad te felicito estupenda interpretacion en 2 idiomas saludos desde mexico.

  • i never leave comments on youtube videos but this is.. super!

  • Uh, I think I'm in love?

  • Comment removed

  • @TubbyWilliams

    I'm fairly certain she has

    1) she sings a number of the lines as such

    2) her handle is brazilianposer

    3) she acknowledges the translation -- the "original English lyrics" she's referring to are also Jobim

  • @TubbyWilliams

    "you can't even compare it to.." well, of course not, b/c it's not ABOUT comparing, that's for horse shows and 17 year-old boys around a pretty girl.

    Artistic interpretation allows for a richer world than that

  • Comment removed

  • @bowlingfordullards

    Thanks for removing that, it was uncalled for

    at the same time, I don't think tubbys comments were called for either

    "pseudo-intellectual" is an easy term to throw to, but tubby - you are playing that role more than anyone else. and you started with the insults (I don't mean the critique, I mean the pseudo-intellectual crack) If it's an "only Brazilians" deal, then there's no point in bringing it up in asking if she's heard it - it wouldn't matter. It's self serving

  • @TubbyWilliams

    I don't think the comment was bad in and of itself - though it seems pretty obvious she's heard multiple versions

    but the follow-ups look pretty mean spirited

    it just doesn't seem like it's in keeping with the spirit of the whole venture here.

    Even TJ reworked the lyrics for English speakers. Different? sure! but we all are, each one.

    Noone will probably ever "understand it" exactly like TJ himself - doesn't mean he shouldn't publish it for you and I to hear and relate to

  • Tom Jobim's music ....

    : ))

  • very attractive and pleasant to hear, I want to be your friend, please listen to my performance

  • Muito bom! sério... =D

  • Great! A nice blend of the languages. What else can one say?

  • I had a girlfriend back in Brazil that used to sing this song when she felt down. It was conforting to me too. So it brought me to tears (de saudades)....Only the Portuguese word can tell it how it is, homesick doesn't describe it.... Thanks for the song and how you sang it.

  • Possibly the best performance of this song.

    Greetings from Europe, Hungary.

  • maravilhosa. que energia. e tão bonita. you brought a smile to my face.

  • charmed and enchented interpretation!

    your voice is really good. and also your portuguese, i swear.

  • I defenetly love you..

  • Love is in the web ... Good Luck Varo :) This track is so extemporaneous..... beatifull performace!

  • hi marylee,..this is really one of the best songs of all the times,..i can see how much you feel it inside...

    hugs from valerio,italy

  • I love your rendition of this song. It made me surprisingly happy to hear you sing and play it. Thank you. Obrigado.

  • Águas de março realmente é uma das maiores obras da música popular brasileira.. dividno..

    Sua versão ficou excelente...

  • Very cool version. Brava!

  • Wow! That was awesome. Your voice is soothing. Could listen all afternoon.... thanks!

  • ...Better than "Mercedezzz" ;-)))

  • I got the wrong tabs... i think it would be nice if u share them to me! Nice sound on the "s" you blow. Even better in portuguese.

  • Vc um muito bom brasileira poser!

  • All I've been doing for the last two hours is to listen the various covers of this song which I love so much ( I know it in French).

    And you do it so well. Love listening to you singing and looking at you playing it....in your messy room...genuine!!!

    Thank you!

  • I like this Babe,,, she puts her soul into this song....seems like she'd a like of fun to hang with.....

  • Great job!!! It looks like you really have fun performing that song. I love when beautiful women do beautiful songs. I'm a keyboard player and I would love to meet you and do Tom's "Two Kites" if you've ever heard that one.

  • Awesome rendition, on top of getting my Portuguese vocab. lesson in for today; you make that look easy! :D I always wondered what this song was about

  • I just fell in love AND crapped my pants simultaneously.

  • Thank You for this...

  • This is a wonderful, joyful, uplifting song that you treated with a warm elegance. On the strength of that performance, you could open up for Diana Krall or Astrud Gilberto. I've heard this song before a few times, but when I researched it recently, I fell in love with it. To me, it's one of the top 50 songs ever written. Awesome, job! I want to see you live sometime!

  • Excelente interpretação. Parabéns!!! Mas e essa bagunça aí atrás?

  • adorei!!!!!

    bossa nova é tudo de bom!

    você é linda! sua voz e linda e voce toca muito bem!

    parabens!

  • beautiful. i made an youtube account so i could say that. your portuguese just sounds a bit like portuguese from portugal but it doesnt change what you made me feel.

    you got me a morning smile. thank you

  • Excellent!! I love you go back and forth from English to Portuguese. Now, go make your bed.

  • Awesome! Your voice suits this style of music very well.

  • You finally loosened-up and made it yours the last 90 secs. Great version. Play it honestly...like you did at the end. And it will be an AWESOME cover! This is a really, really tough tune to sing. Not a lot of breaks. Overall, you were brilliant!

  • one of my favorite song, so beautifull

    really nice voice and good guitar

    congratulations

    555++++

  • I think Tom is smiling in heaven...Just work your accent.

  • beautiful version of the world's most lovely song.

  • nice voice but, the room is a mess!

  • This is lovely, You have a nice voice.

    Could I maybe get the lyrics?

    if its not too much trouble the chords too :D ?

    This is my favourite Jobim piece right now.

  • Very Good.

    I'm happy find you , singing so beauty.

    It's a most dificult music I know.

    Very beauty.

    Bassoli

  • Indeed the best song ever , the girl , very talented !

    beijos xxx

  • Great song! Great singer. Thank you.

    It is one of the jazz standards apparently but I have not heard it before. I am very glad you have done it so beautifully and shared with us.

    xx

  • I love it! You're so cute speaking portuguese ^^

    "Águas de Março" from Elis and "Roda Viva" from Chico Buarque are the best songs I've ever heard...the lyrics, melody and the way they sing let me hypnotized.

  • Yup! this is one of the greatest songs EVER! Great job! the whistling is a bit cheesy. But hey, very nice honest job!

  • you have goodness running out of this clip. frankly, it keeps me up, when I am done

    Thank you.

  • AWESOME, Can't get enough of it!

  • u're amazing, 5 stars, keep the work up :D

  • just great. chords, plz?

  • This video just made my day! That's absolutely beautiful! Congrats for the great voice and interpretation. 5 stars.

  • this is why i am proud to be brazilian....awesome girl,u made my day better now....thanks

  • Wow, WOW, wow.

    My name is Alexander and alive in Italy, but the harmony of this litle girl has arrived to me crossing the oceans........

    Internet, thanks to exist.

  • wow, i don't know who you are but i stumbled upon your videos and i think that your translations are amazing! also, you sing beautifully.

  • wow...

  • Butch guy here. This performance of this song makes me cry (in a good way).

    Seriously.

    It also makes me ask why anyone would bother to perform a song they didn't love?

    This isn't the most technically proficient version, she doesn't have a PERFECT voice (although it is great)... this is an amazing recording of this song because she FEELS every lyric... every note.

    She just loves this song.

    Check some of the other version. Dry. Stale. Perfunctory. None of them love it.

    Bravo.

  • aruuma o quarto eh bom de vez em qdo

  • Bella voce....;-)

  • BRAVO!

  • Thank you very much. Enjoyed your singing this. Just became familiar with the song and singer Susannah McCorkle when viewing a video from an Appalachian Trail thru-hiker. I read her wikipedia page, very interesting, and sad. Thanks again...Bruce

  • adorei o cenário quase meu quarto... hehe'

  • tadinha mais uma brasileira q nasceu no país errado, na proxima encarnação ve se acerta o caminho e nasça nem que seja no acre

  • I fell in love with you, my dear.

    Beautiful voice!

    But, my dear, I couldn´t fail to note the mess in Mercede´s apartment, ahahahhaha

    But this was a special touch in your video.

    Congratulations!!!

  • Muito bom!

    parabéns, boa voz e interpretação!

    Very well!

    congratulations, good voice and interpretation! [2]

  • Me apaixonei !!

  • it's really easy to fell in love with this song and with you even more!! :)

  • I completely agree this might be the most soulful song in the world. there is something deeply lonely and beautifully poignant about it, and great rendition!

  • linda linda! =]

  • well done :) good to see our songs sang by non-brazillians.

  • sei FIGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAA

  • o cenário esta no clima boemio da bossa nova ;D

    curti a versão, a voz eh linda!

    melhor só regina :]

  • haha i fell in love with this girl.... muito bela, bonita y guapa =). u beuty

  • niiice!!!

  • Bravissima!

  • WOW! brivido, goosepimpers, ανατριχίλα...

  • Hey, I feel bad that I'm brazillian and still can't play this music.. I'll get to it right now!

    You really inspired me, keep up the good work!

  • i can tell you aren't brazilian but great Portuguese! well done. i think you just inspired me to learn the song myself

  • Amazing! I was listening to the version by Rosa Passos and I thought I'd see what YouTube held.

    You've made my day, thank you! Beautiful singing!

  • dont stop belivieng!!!

  • I posted last night about how great this rendition is, and I just had to return against tonight to hear it again.

    It's not so much that it's "possibly one of the greatest songs ever written" (but it is), this is so great because she BELIEVES it's one of the greatest songs ever written.

    Watch the other versions of this song on youtube.

    Perfunctory, unemotional, and over rehearsed are what strikes me about them.

    This is different.

    I hope she never stops playing for the right reasons.

  • Feliz!

  • A famous singer, accompanied by a famous band would never evoke that emotion from me.

    One woman, one guitar, sitting in her room playing in front of her webcam for myself, and the other (circa) 28,000 people?

    Emotional. For me anyway... so emotional.

    And just think... 28,000ish views. That fills up a small stadium.

    Most wont admit it... but your performance made me cry... I'm certain I'm not the only one.

    Just fantastic.

    Easily the most "true" performance of this song on youtube.

  • This video is exactly why I love youtube, and especially why I love music.

    This performance is easily the *least* technically proficient of this song for which I've ever heard. The guitar playing was basic, and the singing was "ok".

    Yet from the start, I had a grin, ear to ear... and I wanted to thank her for making me smile.

    Then as the song went on (a song I've heard hundreds of times), I started to cry.

    It's that beautiful.

    I mean this when I say it.

    Thank you for making me cry.

  • Awsome! i love it, great job! not often i find songs done like this and like them as much as i do with this. and yes i must agree, awsome song!

  • Quite possibly the best version on youtube. The simplicity of the arrangement. 1 voice, 1 guitar.  Outstanding.

  • Yea girl! you did a great job!

  • Yesterday was Elis Regina's 64 yo birthday! She will live in our hearts, forever!!!!!!!!

  • Nicely done.

  • Every time I hear this song I melt. It's that simple. It's that nice. It's...well....we all know what it is....

    thanks

  • wonderful... you play guitar and sing like an angel!!

    :))

  • a great song in portuguese...

  • Muito bom!

    parabéns, boa voz e interpretação!

    Very well!

    congratulations, good voice and interpretation!

  • nice room

  • I really like your interpretation of this tune and I love that you whistle in yours (I whistled in mine too!! haha) fun stuff

  • Solo despues de Elis y creeme muy cerca de ella. Captaste increiblemente bien el feeling de la cancion, ademas eres muy linda. Gracias por darme un lindo momento este dia!

  • You understand Brazillian jazz. Congratulations, I am a fan for life. And your voice is so wonderfully un ornimented. You are pure joy.

  • This is great.

  • E ai? Tudo bem?

    Gostei muito... perfect portuguese..

    Um beijão.

    very talented...

    all the best cutie...

  • Nice job and really appreciate your effort. Now go clean your room!! lol...

  • So sweet...

    Now I'm your fan... GREAT!

    Greeting from Chihuahua

  • Very Nice! I like your vocal timbre and phrasing.

    Keep it up!

  • You are so talented it's amazing the way put it together

    really original!!

  • I like what you did to this song and how it sounds. It's really nice to see you singing in portuguese being American. Kudos! :)

    I'm Brazilian, by the way.

    Xoxo,

    Maura.

  • you really capture the joy/sadness of the song.

  • cute!!!

  • very good

  • I don´t know who you are, but you are the best one I have heard singing this song after Elis Regina.I am a fan of traditional brazilian music. Congratulations!! Besides ...you are a beautiful girl!!
