The boyfriend arm pillow Made in Japan reminded me of a famous song, written by Jobim and made famous by Gertrud Alberto. Here it is in its original interpretation and various covers. 
"Agua de Beber" ("Water to Drink") is a bossa nova jazz standard composed by Antonio Carlos Jobim, with lyrics written by Vinicius de Moraes. The English lyrics were written by Norman Gimbel.
The lyrics:
| Eu quis amar
mas tive medo
E quis salvar
meu coração Mas o amor
sabe um segredo
O medo pode matar
o seu coração R: Água de beber
Água de beber camará
Água de beber
Água de beber camará Eu nunca fiz
coisa tão certa
Entrei pra escola
do perdão of forgiveness A minha casa
viva aberta
Abri todas
do coração R:.. | | I wanted to love
but I was afraid
I wanted to protect
my heart But love
knows a secret
Fear is able to kill
your heart R: Water to drink
Water to drink, my friend
Water to drink
Water to drink, my friend I never did
a thing so certain
I entered the school
I opened all the doors My house
lives open
as portas
of my heart R:.. |
