The Waters of March: Views from Quebec and Brazil

The sun is out today and the snow is melting in our version of "The Waters of March." The first time I heard the excellent song by Tom Jobim, the rushing streams of spring were what I thought of, but now I realize that the waters referred to are really the fall rains after the Brazilian summer.

Peut importe
, as they say around here. It's a great song and very appropriate. This version by Ellis Regina and Jobim is a classic with English subtitles: sorry that it skips a little.
