Which are the best Brazilian songs ever? Seven among
the 10 best were composed by Tom Jobim, according to
a panel of experts. The big winner: Águas de Março.
By Elma Lia Nascimento
More than 200 Brazilian journalists, musicians and cultural icons were asked to name
their three favorite national tunes starting in 1917 when “Pelo Telefone” (On
the Phone), the first Brazilian samba, was recorded by Donga. “Which is the all-time
best Brazilian song?” was the question presented. Voters were told to consider among
other items melody, lyrics, some historical reason, and even sentimental motives. The
stunt was promoted by Folha de São Paulo, Brazil’s most read daily newspaper.
If your own personal list included Tom Jobim (1927-1994), you will be glad to know that
seven of Jobim’s songs made the ten most cited tunes. Jobim’s “Águas de
Março”, from 1972, was the champion, but his name was also remembered for
“Chega de Saudade” (3rd place, from 1958), “Retrato em Branco e
Preto” (6th place, 1968) and “Garota de Ipanema” (7th
place, 1963). Jobim was again considered for “Corcovado” (1960) and
“Desafinado” (1958, a tie in 9th place) and “Wave (Vou Te
Contar)” (1967, 10th place).
Tom Jobim had 32 of his songs cited, the most songs any author had mentioned. Composer
Chico Buarque de Hollanda had the same number of tunes remembered. Surprisingly, according
to this criterion, Jorge Ben came in second with 22 tunes mentioned. Only his 1963 song
“Mas que Nada”, however, won enough votes to be included among the 10 most
memorable songs. No song was cited in his most recent phase after changing his name to
Jorge Ben Jor. Caetano Veloso had 20 compositions mentioned, which gave him the third
place in this category.
In 1999, a search for the best Brazilian song of all times promoted by Globo TV Network
found that Ary Barroso’s “Aquarela do Brasil” (“Brazil”) was the
favorite. This time the results were less chauvinistic. Jobim, with a total of 110
mentions, came well ahead of the second most cited composer, Chico Buarque, who got 69
nods. Vinicius de Moraes (48 mentions) came in third for his collaborations with Jobim,
Chico Buarque, Baden Powell, Carlos Lyra, Edu Lobo and Toquinho. Caetano Veloso and Jorge
Ben tied in fourth place with 34 citations. The fifth place went to Roberto and Erasmo
Carlos, a duo famous for their romantic ballads. They were remembered 24 times by the
illustrious panel of voters.
Interestingly enough, the most memorable “Águas de Março” interpretation,
which serves as reference for all the other versions, is the one sung by the duet Elis
& Tom. Elis Regina didn’t like Tom Jobim and didn’t hide her dislike for the
maestro whom she called “a bore”, “dim-witted”, and “old
fogey” in the backstage, in 1974, when the Elis & Tom LP was being
recorded. Elis, however, needed to revitalize a career that was being derailed by bad
press from critics who were demanding more sophistication from her. The partnership with
old Tom made the trick for her.
“Águas de Março” appeared on a super brief venture of alternative tabloid Pasquim
into the music business. The nonconformist publication in 1972 decided to release simple
compacts—a record with a song on each side of the old vinyl disc—to reveal new
talents. To guarantee success for the record, their proposal was to release on the other
side of the disc an unpublished tune by a famous composer. The new composers were rookies
João Bosco and Aldir Blanc with “Agnus Dei”. Jobim became their godfather in
the recording, with “Águas de Março”. There would be only one more release in
the collection: that of Fagner being presented by Caetano Veloso.
Women were barely mentioned in this selection. Rita Lee is the first woman to show up
in the list. The feisty rocker was mentioned 15 times what guaranteed her an 11th
place together with samba composer Cartola. Besides Lee, only Chiquinha Gonzaga and
Dolores Duran were remembered. They showed up at the bottom of the list with four mentions
each. A big name like Maysa was never mentioned. More recent composers like Marisa Monte,
Adriana Calcanhotto, and Zélia Duncan also were snubbed.
Talking for her colleagues, Rita Lee offered some explanation for this oversight:
“Women are quantitatively less present in several areas. Only recently we started
appearing while patriarchy exists for centuries. Chiquinha Gonzaga is from a time when men
would say, “Music is man’s occupation”. Dolores Duran was from a time when
guys would say, “Women who compose are whores.” I’m from a time when
Tubby’s Boy’s Only Clubhouse used to say, “To make rock you ought to have
balls.” Cássia Eller is from a time when people say, “You need to be a
macho-woman to make music like a man.” My granddaughter will be from a time when they
will say, “Only a woman could make such a good song.”
You can listen to Jobim interpreting his own song while following the
lyrics and translation below:
Águas de Março by Tom Jobim
|
“É pau, é pedra, É um caco de vidro, É peroba do campo, É madeira de vento, É o vento ventando, É a chuva chovendo, É o pé, é o chão, É uma ave no céu, É o fundo do poço, É um estrepe, é um prego, É um peixe, é um gesto, É a lenha, é o dia, É o projeto da casa, É um passo, é uma ponte, São as águas de março É uma cobra, é um pau, São as águas de março É pau, é pedra, É um passo, é uma ponte, São as águas de março |
Waters of March
It’s stick, it’s stone It’s a shard of glass It’s peroba of the field It’s wind-resistant wood It’s the wind blowing It’s the rain raining It’s the foot, it’s the ground It’s a bird in the sky It’s the bottom of the well It’s a thorn, it’s a nail It’s a fish, it’s a gesture It’s the firewood, it’s the day It’s the house’s design It’s a footstep, it’s a bridge They are the waters of March It’s a snake, it’s a stick They are the waters of March It’s stick, it’s stone It’s a footstep, a bridge They are the waters of March |
Jobim himself re-wrote these lyrics for the English version. It’s a whole
new poem:
Waters of March
A stick, a stone,
It’s the end of the road,
It’s the rest of a stump,
It’s a little alone
It’s a sliver of glass,
It is life, it’s the sun,
It is night, it is death,
It’s a trap, it’s a gun
The oak when it blooms,
A fox in the brush,
A knot in the wood,
The song of a thrush
The wood of the wind,
A cliff, a fall,
A scratch, a lump,
It is nothing at all
It’s the wind blowing free,
It’s the end of the slope,
It’s a beam, it’s a void,
It’s a hunch, it’s a hope
And the river bank talks
of the waters of March,
It’s the end of the strain,
The joy in your heart
The foot, the ground,
The flesh and the bone,
The beat of the road,
A slingshot’s stone
A fish, a flash,
A silvery glow,
A fight, a bet,
The range of a bow
The bed of the well,
The end of the line,
The dismay in the face,
It’s a loss, it’s a find
A spear, a spike,
A point, a nail,
A drip, a drop,
The end of the tale
A truckload of bricks
in the soft morning light,
The shot of a gun
in the dead of the night
A mile, a must,
A thrust, a bump,
It’s a girl, it’s a rhyme,
It’s a cold, it’s the mumps
The plan of the house,
The body in bed,
And the car that got stuck,
It’s the mud, it’s the mud
Afloat, adrift,
A flight, a wing,
A hawk, a quail,
The promise of spring
And the riverbank talks
of the waters of March,
It’s the promise of life
It’s the joy in your heart
A stick, a stone,
It’s the end of the road
It’s the rest of a stump,
It’s a little alone
A snake, a stick,
It is John, it is Joe,
It’s a thorn in your hand
and a cut in your toe
A point, a grain,
A bee, a bite,
A blink, a buzzard,
A sudden stroke of night
A pin, a needle,
A sting, a pain,
A snail, a riddle,
A wasp, a stain
A pass in the mountains,
A horse and a mule,
In the distance the shelves
rode three shadows of blue
And the riverbank talks
of the waters of March,
It’s the promise of life
in your heart, in your heart
A stick, a stone,
The end of the road,
The rest of a stump,
A lonesome road
A sliver of glass,
A life, the sun,
A knife, a death,
The end of the run
And the riverbank talks
of the waters of March,
It’s the end of all strain,
It’s the joy in your heart.
