Cachaça (Portuguese pronunciation: [kaˈʃasɐ]) or "Ca-SHAH-sa" is a liquor made from fermented sugarcane juice.
It is the most popular distilled alcoholic beverage in Brazil. It is also known as aguardente, pinga, caninha and many other names.
Cachaça is mostly produced in Brazil, where, according to 2007 figures, 1.5 billion litres (390 million gallons) are consumed annually, compared with 15 million litres (4.0 million gallons) outside the country. It is typically between 38% and 48% alcohol by volume. When it is homemade it can be as strong as the distiller wants. Up to six grams per litre of sugar may be added." The major difference between cachaça and rum is that rum is usually made from molasses, a by-product from refineries that boil the cane juice to extract as much sugar crystal as possible, while cachaça is made from fresh sugarcane juice that is fermented and distilled. However, many rums are also made from distilled sugar cane juice. That's why cachaça is also known as Brazilian rum.
I never thought I could feel like this, no
You turn my world upside down
I never thought I could love you this way
I just want you to know
And everytime I look out my window
I wish that you would be here
Â''cause everytime that I see you baby
It feels like walking on air
Â''cause IÂ'll be by your side
But I don't know if I`ll be on your mind
So tell me is it right feeling blue
If youÂ're out there
Looking for me
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna touch you right now
Because I wanna be there when you are sleeping
And anything you say IÂ'll do it for you
And I just wanna be there by your side
I wanna hold you tonight
I don't know where you are
Where you are now
But IÂ'll be waiting for you
Playing tricks with my heart
Won`t get me down
When I know youÂ're around
'cause I`ll be by your sideâ¦â¦..
I wanna hold youâ¦â¦â¦â¦â¦..
If I could show you
You would know that I still care
If you still want me
You know that IÂ'll be there
And I`ll be by your side
But I don't know if IÂ'll be on your mind
