O Pato - Joao Gilberto

'O Pato' (the duck) by Jaime Silva - one of the earlier Bossanova songs, and first recorded by the maestro Joao Gilberto in 1960. A catchy & funny innocent theme... but what is it actually really about, anybody??

-- -- --
O pato vinha cantando alegremente, quém, quém
Quando um marreco sorridente pediu
Pra entrar também no samba, no samba, no samba

O ganso gostou da dupla e fez também quém, quém
Olhou pro cisne e disse assim: "vem, vem"
Que o quarteto ficará bem, muito bom, muito bem

Na beira da lagoa foram ensaiar
Para começar o tico-tico no fubá
A voz do pato era mesmo um desacato
Jogo de cena com o ganso era mato
Mas eu gostei do final quando caíram n'água
E ensaiando o vocal...
quém, quém, quém, quém
