Music - Bossa Nova

Well, I'm gonna explain a little, our life is not just about food you know. Bread, Butter & Spices means...well...live a quality life and most importantly - ENJOY it. One of my friends once said, "Hey life's too short for you to work your ass off. Not worth it!" I partly agree with it. Don't get it wrong, it doesn't mean you do not need to work hard, it only means you do not need to work hard all the time, for the rest of your life. 


I'm always trying to balance my life, like how? Try not to be angry. Yeah, that's the way. How to not angry? Keep calm. How  to keep calm? Yes, listening to music. Phew, finally relate to my topic today. I'm CRAZY about Bossa Nova. I've been trying so hard to influence friends around me, I like to force them to listen to Bossa Nova. They might not be very interested to it, but at least i made them listened for the first time! Ha-Ha-Ha *Evil Grins* 


Bossa Nova originated from Brazil.It was developed and popularized during 50's  - 60's. It is generally a type of new style music, mixture of Jazz & Samba. Although I know nothing about Brazil or Portuguese, but I'm madly crazy over Bossa, I'm addicted to Antonio Carlos Jobim and  João Gilberto's creations. Couldn't stop to listen to them. 


The first Bossa Nova song I've listened to is "Maria Ninguem" by French sexy artist - Brigitte Bardot. This song was composed by the Brazilian musician, Carlos Lyra in 1956 and the lyrics express his love for Maria, such a unique woman despite her common name. Before ending this post, here I'm sharing with you my honorable readers, Maria Ninguem video and the lyrics below. Listen and watch (you can even sing along if you want), and I swear it will makes you happy! Ciao~~~

Maria Ninguem - Brigitte Bardot

Maria ninguém É Maria e é Maria meu bem 
Se eu nao sou Joao de nada Maria que é minha é Maria ninguém 
Maria ninguém É Maria como as outras também 
Só que tem que ainda é melhor do que muita Maria que há por aí 
Marias tao frias cheias de manias Marias vazias pro nome que tem 
Maria Ninguém É um dom que muito homem nao tem 
Haja vista quanta gente que chama Maria e Maria nao vem 
Maria Ninguém E Maria e é Maria meu bem 
Se eu nao sou Joao de nada Maria que é minha é Maria ninguem

Loves,
GF
