`  == Jobim avoided Latin-based lyrics??? == Whoever wrote that did not look at the Portuguese lyrics, which are about 90% based on Latin roots, beginning with the very title ``Aguas de Março``! (Aguas vs. Aquae, and Março vs. Martius. ETC.) Portuguese is a ROMANCE language and by its very nature based on Latin. English is Germanic (with heavy borrowing from Latin).`
