@blancounoir ----Lucky Brasileira/o
, I think Im love with the Samba, this song composition is making me feel like going to Brazil. I love the Samba/Jazz especially this song----It's simply magical...ahead always of it's own time.

I have heard so many versions of this. Basia is right up at the top of my favorites. Bravo, Basia. I simply adore her music. <3

@blancounoir Tom Jobim wrote English lyrics himself and performed those on many concert tours.

All in all, my current favorite bossa nova, go and listen to Elis and Tom, you can hear her smiling near the end, it's priceless.
But really, this version works nicely. A cool take, and I respect those who cover a song and make it their own.

Interesting take. About twice as fast as the Tom and Elis version which is something everyone who's been here should go and listen to. Right now. I'm not kidding.
Basia managed to suck all the fun and sensuality out of the song and replaced it with a groove, which isn't all bad. Jobim's composition is so hypnotic it works in a wide range of interpretations, except of course Art Garfunkel's which stands as the absolute worst version of this tune ever recorded.

I'm Brazilian.. Even thou I like this version, it's feel absolutely exotic to hear Águas de Março in English. I keep expecting to listen the lyrics in Portuguese!! haha
-
Great song, but I like Art Garfunkle's version better; its slower.
-
Great!!!
i wish that for my 19th birthday Basia could come out of my cake and start singing New Day For You and then Peter White could be behind the couch with his classical guitar and Danny White hiding behind my grandmother's piano......hey I can dream!
