Hi all, Marina Ribeiro (from Brazil) is the performer of this bossa. https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/at-the-edge-of-lake-with-marinaAt the edge of lake I’m going to take A break under this tree Some clouds are passing It’s not disturbing The wind is singing for me I feel no more chains I feel no more pains And dreams are calling me To take me away On a peaceful way Silence is invading me I enjoy this place Where there's no more race And Time can wait for me Some swans are passing Carelessly swimming Fullness is spreading in me RD BossaBrushes RT 711 Acoustic bass RT 1103 Nylon rythm guitar RT 1063 Tenor sax RT 1379 Solo nylon guitar

Christian - a wonderful song - I’ve added it to my list of favs. The third line in each verse ‘under this tree’, ‘are calling me’ and ‘wait for me’ with descending notes illustrate the theme of the song so well. Marina’s vocal also well suits the song, and her vocal sounds like a mixture of flute and clarinet.
A very relaxing song to listen to.

Chris, a bossa at is best. Marina has an outstanding voice and your backing band perfectly supports her. Outstanding mix also. A very relaxing piece of music.
Loved it.

Perfect instrumentation for this song, cool lyrics and Marina's voice makes it all come together. So much better than a SynthV voice! 
Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

Composition in the true spirit of bossa nova, including simplicity of “the band”, and Mariana’s style so typical of the approach of Brazilian singers. My only question: why isn’t there a Portuguese lyric to this marvelous song?
