@footfootfoot: Dude. Seriously?

Águas de Março - Letra - TOM JOBIM

É pau, é pedra, é o fim do caminho
é um resto de toco, é um pouco sozinho
é um caco de vidro, é a vida, é o sol
é a noite, é a morte, é um laco, é o anzol
é peroba do campo, é o nó da madeira
cainga, candeia, é o Matita Pereira
É madeira de vento, tombo da ribanceira
é o mistério profundo
é o queira ou nao queira
é o vento ventando, é o fim da ladeira
é a viga, é o vao, festa da cumeeira
é a chuva chovendo, é conversa ribeira
das aguas de marco, é o fim da canseira
é o pé, é o chao, é a marcha estradeira
passarinho na mao, pedra de atiradeira

Uma ave no céu, uma ave no chao
é um regato, é uma fonte
é um pedaco de pao
é o fundo do poco, é o fim do caminho
no rosto o desgosto, é um pouco sozinho

É um estrepe, é um prego
é uma ponta, é um ponto
é um pingo pingando
é uma conta, é um conto
é um peixe, é um gesto
é uma prata brilhando
é a luz da manha, é o tijolo chegando
é a lenha, é o dia, é o fim da picada
é a garrafa de cana, o estilhaco na estrada
é o projeto da casa, é o corpo na cama
é o carro enguicado, é a lama, é a lama
é um passo, é uma ponte
é um sapo, é uma ra
é um resto de mato, na luz da manha
sao as aguas de marco fechando o verao
é a promessa de vida no teu coracao

É pau, é pedra, é o fim do caminho
é um resto de toco, é um pouco sozinho
é uma cobra, é um pau, é Joao, é José
é um espinho na mao, é um corte no pé
sao as aguas de marco fechando o verao
é a promessa de vida no teu coracao

É pau, é pedra, é o fim do caminho
é um resto de toco, é um pouco sozinho
é um passo, é uma ponte
é um sapo, é uma ra
é um belo horizonte, é uma febre terca
sao as aguas de marco fechando o verao
é a promessa de vida no teu coracao

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

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

Pau, pedra, fim do caminho
resto de toco, pouco sozinho

Pau, pedra, fim do caminho,
resto de toco, pouco sozinho.

Waters of March : English Version: “Aquas de Marco Antonio Carlos Jbim Lyrics”

A stick, a stone,
It's the end of the road,
It's the rest of a stump,
It's a little alone
It's a sliver of glass,
It is life, it's the sun,
It is night, it is death,
It's a trap, it's a gun
The oak when it blooms,
A fox in the brush,
A knot in the wood,
The song of a thrush
The wood of the wind,
A cliff, a fall,
A scratch, a lump,
It is nothing at all
It's the wind blowing free,
It's the end of the slope,
It's a beam, it's a void,
It's a hunch, it's a hope
And the river bank talks
of the waters of March,
It's the end of the strain,
The joy in your heart
The foot, the ground,
The flesh and the bone,
The beat of the road,
A slingshot's stone
A fish, a flash,
A silvery glow,
A fight, a bet,
The range of a bow
The bed of the well,
The end of the line,
The dismay in the face,
It's a loss, it's a find
A spear, a spike,
A point, a nail,
A drip, a drop,
The end of the tale
A truckload of bricks
in the soft morning light,
The shot of a gun
in the dead of the night
A mile, a must,
A thrust, a bump,
It's a girl, it's a rhyme,
It's a cold, it's the mumps
The plan of the house,
The body in bed,
And the car that got stuck,
It's the mud, it's the mud
Afloat, adrift,
A flight, a wing,
A hawk, a quail,
The promise of spring
And the riverbank talks
of the waters of March,
It's the promise of life
It's the joy in your heart
A stick, a stone,
It's the end of the road
It's the rest of a stump,
It's a little alone
A snake, a stick,
It is John, it is Joe,
It's a thorn in your hand
and a cut in your toe
A point, a grain,
A bee, a bite,
A blink, a buzzard,
A sudden stroke of night
A pin, a needle,
A sting, a pain,
A snail, a riddle,
A wasp, a stain
A pass in the mountains,
A horse and a mule,
In the distance the shelves
rode three shadows of blue
And the riverbank talks
of the waters of March,
It's the promise of life
in your heart, in your heart
A stick, a stone,
The end of the road,
The rest of a stump,
A lonesome road
A sliver of glass,
A life, the sun,
A knife, a death,
The end of the run
And the riverbank talks
of the waters of March,
It's the end of all strain,
It's the joy in your heart.

Note: You will note that the English translation of Aquas de Marco antonio carlos jobim lyrics” is longer than the original Portuguese version. Jobim added lyrics to the song when it made the transition to English. If you speak Portuguese, you will also notice that some of the English lyrics bear no resemblance to the original lyrics. For example, the beautiful fourth stanza more properly translates to "It is wood that resists the wind, the falls of the riverbank, it's the profound mystery, it's wanting or not wanting." You can find more faithful (but perhaps less lyrical) translations, such as this one or this one. In each case, however, both the original lyrics and translations are flawed. Regarding the original lyrics, trust those offered at the Jobim fan site (which are the ones offered on this page).

This translation is a little better, (and you can read about the results of selecting the best Brazilian song of all time ... guess first, of course). Regrettably, no translation can do justice to the original lyrics. You've just got to learn Portuquese

If you want correct translation of song lyrics, might as well as stick to the original songs. If you need to know what it's saying, then look up the translation and enjoy the original song. The song will still be beautiful that way. Well, in my opinion. :)

BigV, Aguas de MArco is an awesome song but he's in Brazil with his (no doubt) hottie girl friend so Beija me Muito (kiss me a lot) is the obvious song. Try to follow the plot.

If the cellar wanted your opinion we'd give it to you, then make a poll to see if we agreed on the opinion then there'd be serious thread drift until it turned to a discussion of gun politics then everyone would be careful not to invoke godwin's law so the thread would never die and never get back to the OT, so keep your opinions to your self.:p:

Depends on how he made out with the girl. Maybe he's singing the girl from Ipanema.

footfootfoot 01-14-2013 08:44 PM

ouch. :D

BigV 01-14-2013 10:27 PM

Footfootfoot, I totally teed that one up for you and you whiffed it.

Pete, thankfully, stroked it for a stand up double. Posting the lyrics and a video would have been out of the park.

:-D

Thanks, sweetie. :hug: I'm sure Foot is just playing with me. I just haven't come up with a (I had hoped) witty response yet. Was gonna get to today so Foot knows that I know he's joking around. :p well, maybe now I won't have to anymore that I mention it, hehe. :D

Well damn. I woulda, but I was on my cell. Copy and paste on those things can be … challenging.

footfootfoot 01-15-2013 10:29 AM

What can I say? I'm off my game lately. A lot on my so called mind. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

It would have been great.
