"The Waters of March (Portuguese: %22\u00C1guas de Mar\u00E7o%22 [\u02C8a\u0261w\u0250\u0292 d\u0292i \u02C8ma\u0281su]) is a Brazilian song composed by Ant\u00F4nio Carlos Jobim (1972). Jobim wrote both the English and Portuguese lyrics. The lyrics, originally written in Portuguese, do not tell a story, but rather present a series of images that form a collage; nearly every line starts with %22\u00C9...%22 (%22[It] is...%22). In 2001, %22\u00C1guas de Mar\u00E7o%22 was named as the all-time best Brazilian song in a poll of more than 200 Brazilian journalists, musicians and other artists conducted by Brazil's leading daily newspaper, Folha de S.Paulo. It was also voted by the Brazilian edition of Rolling Stone as the 2nd greatest Brazilian song.The inspiration for %22\u00C1guas de Mar\u00E7o%22 came from Rio de Janeiro's rainiest month. March is typically marked by sudden storms with heavy rains and strong winds that cause flooding in many places around the city. The lyrics and the music have a constant downward progression much like the water torrent from those rains flowing in the gutters, which typically would carry sticks, stones, bits of glass, and almost everything and anything. The orchestration creates the illusion of the constant descending of notes much like Shepard tones." . "5714dee625ac0d8aee52c627" . . "English-language Brazilian songs" . . . "-0.233081"^^ .
