“Laughter is day, and sobriety is night; a smile is the twilight that hovers gently between both, more bewitching than either.”

Rock me on the water
Sister will you soothe my fevered brow
Rock me on the water
I’ll get down to the sea somehow

“A Flor e o Espinho” was composed in 1957. Guilherme de Brito and Alcides Caminha wrote the words and Nelson Cavaquinho the melody. Raul Moreno recorded it that same year. The song became quite popular when Elizeth Cardoso recorded it in 1964. Cavaquinho himself recorded it in 1973.
The way I’m playing it here comes from Paulinho Moska’s version. I think he recorded it specifically for the Woman on Top soundtrack, which includes six recordings by him.

The warm and inviting ocean breezes
Lift my spirit above the waters
And the memories of sunsets and peacefulness
Bring a taste of something fine

Hello in There
Ya’ know that old trees just grow stronger,
And old rivers grow wilder ev’ry day.
Old people just grow lonesome
Waiting for someone to say, “Hello in there, hello.”
