Sabia is a genus of small sea snails, limpet-like marine gastropod molluscs in the family Hipponicidae, the hoof shells or hoof snails.
"Sabiá" (aka "The Song of the Sabiá") is a Brazilian song composed in 1968 by Antônio Carlos Jobim, with lyrics by Chico Buarque. English-language lyrics were written later by Norman Gimbel.
In 1968, “Sabiá” won first place at Brazil’s III Festival Internacional da Canção (International Festival of Song), where it was performed by Cynara and Cybele. After Buarque wrote the original lyrics, he traveled to Italy, and, while he was away, Jobim added a last verse, which was included in the performance at the Festival but was not well received. Buarque convinced Jobim to drop the verse, and it has not been used since.
The sabiá is a songbird ( Rufous-bellied thrush in English) and the national bird of Brazil. Buarque's lyrics allude to the sabiá in the famous Brazilian poem " Canção do exílio," written in 1843 by Gonçalves Dias.
