Águas de Março
Tom Jobim
March's Waters
It's stick, it's stone, it's the end of the road
It's a bit of stump, it's a little alone
It's a shard of glass, it's life, it's the Sun
It's the night, it's the death, it's the noose, it's the hooked-Moon
It's smart big field, it's the knot who started the wood
Dirty, fire lit mood, it's the Matinta Pereira
It's windblown wood, tumbling down the trail
T's a deep mystery, whether you wish or wail
It's the wind winding, it's the end of the stair
It's the beam, it's the span, feast at rooftop's fair
It's the rain raining, it's the riverbank's chatter
Of the march's waters, it's the end of the matter
It's the foot, it's the ground, it's my steady pace
Birdie in the hand, sling's resting place
It's a flier in the sky, it's a flier on the ground
It's a brook, it's a spring, it's a piece of bread found
It's the bottom of the well, it's the end of the road
On the face, the disgrace, it's a little alone
It's a streak, it's a nail, it's a tip, it's a spot
It's a drop dropping, it's a bill, it's a plot
It's a fish, it's a gesture, it's silver gleaming so bright
It's the morning light, it's the brick coming into sight
It's the firewood, it's the day, it's the end of the line
It's the jug of cane, the shard on the incline
It's the house project, it's the body in bed
It's the stalled car, it's the mud, it's the mud
It's a step, it's a bridge, it's a toad, it's a frog
It's a patch of brush, in the morning's soft fog
It's the March waters closing out the summer's span
It's the promise of life in your heart's plan
It's a snake, it's a stick, it's John, it's Joseph
It's a thorn in the hand, it's a cut's cleft
It's the March waters closing out the summer's span
It's the promise of life in your heart's plan
It's stick, it's stone, it's the end of the road
It's a bit of stump, it's a little alone
It's a step, it's a bridge, it's a toad, it's a frog
It's a beautiful horizon, it's a feverish slog
It's the March waters closing out the summer's span
It's the promise of life in your heart's plan
Stick, tone, end, road
Bit, tump, one, litt
Hard, lass, life, un, ight, ath, ose, oon
It's the March waters closing out the summer's span
It's the promise of life in your heart's plan
