Waters Of March (águas de março)



(written by Antonio Carlos Jobim;
with additional lyrics by Susannah McCorkle)


É pau, é pedra
é o fim do caminho
É um resto de toco
é um pouco sozinho




A stick, a stone, it's the end of the road
It's feeling alone, it's the weight of your load
It's a sliver of glass, it's life, it's the sun
It's night, it's death, it's a knife, it's a gun



A flower that blooms, a fox in the brush
A knot in the wood, the song of the thrush
A mystery of life, the steps in the hall
The sound of the wind, and the waterfall


It's the moon floating free, the curve of the slope
It's an ant, it's a bee, it's a reason for hope
And the riverbank sings of the waters of March
It's the promise of spring, it's the joy in your heart



É o pé, é o chão
é a marcha estradeira
Passarinho na mão,
pedra de atiradeira


É uma ave no céu
é uma ave no chão
É um regato, é uma fonte
é um pedaço de pão


É o fundo do poço
é o fim do caminho
No rosto o desgosto
é um pouco sozinho


A spear, a spike, a stake, a nail
It's a drip, it's a drop, it's the end of the tale
The dew on the leaf in the morning light
The shot of a gun in the dead of the night


A mile, a must, a thrust, a bump
It's the will to survive, it's a jolt, it's a jump
Blue print of a house, a body in bed
Car stuck in the mud, it's the mud, it's the mud


A fish, a flash, a wish, a wing
It's a hawk, it's a dove, it's the promise of spring
And the riverbank sings of the waters of March
It's the end of despair, it's the joy in your heart

É uma cobra, é um pau
é João, é José
É um espinho na mão
é um corte no pé
São as águas de março
fechando o verão
É a promessa de vida
no teu coração


A stick, a stone, it's the end of the road
The stump of a tree, it's a frog, it's a toad
A sigh, a breath, a walk, a run
A life, a death, the rain, the sun


And the riverbank sings of the waters of March
It's the promise of life, it's the joy in your heart
