"Chovendo na Roseira" is a bossa nova song composed by Antonio Carlos Jobim in 1970. The song was first recorded by Elis Regina in 1972 and later by Jobim himself in 1973. The title translates to "Raining on the Rosebush" in English. The song has a slow and melancholic melody, with a gentle rhythm that evokes the feeling of a rainy day. The lyrics describe the beauty of nature during a rainstorm, with the raindrops falling on the rosebush and the leaves of the trees. The song also speaks of the joy and peace that can be found in the simple things in life, such as the sound of the rain and the smell of the earth. "Chovendo na Roseira" is divided into two movements. The first movement is slow and contemplative, with a simple melody that is repeated throughout the song. The second movement is more upbeat and features a lively rhythm, with a faster tempo and more complex harmonies. The song is characterized by Jobim's signature use of chord progressions and his unique approach to melody and harmony. The lyrics are also notable for their poetic imagery and the way they capture the beauty of nature. "Chovendo na Roseira" has become a classic of the bossa nova genre and is considered one of Jobim's most beautiful compositions. The song has been covered by many artists over the years, including Gal Costa, João Gilberto, and Diana Krall. Its enduring popularity is a testament to the timeless beauty of Jobim's music.
