finally
it's march it's spring  HAPPY EASTER TO YOU ALL!!  "Waters of March" (Portuguese: "Águas de Março") is a bossa nova song composed by Antonio Carlos Jobim. In both the Portuguese and English versions of the lyrics, "it" is a stick, a stone, a sliver of glass, a scratch, a cliff, a knot in the wood, a fish, a pin, the end of the road, and many other things, although some specific references to Brazilian culture, flora and folklore were intentionally omitted from the English version, perhaps with the goal of providing a more universal perspective. All these details swirling around the central metaphor of "the waters of March" can give the impression of the passing of daily life and its continual, inevitable progression towards death, just as the rains of March mark the end of a Brazilian summer. Both sets of lyrics speak of the water being "the promise of life," perhaps allowing for other, more life-affirming interpretations, and the English contains the additional phrases "the joy in your heart" and the "promise of spring," a seasonal reference that would be more relevant to most of the English-speaking world. The inspiration for "Águas de Março" comes from Rio de Janeiro's most rainy month. March is typically marked by sudden storms with heavy rains and strong winds that cause flooding in many places around the city. The lyrics and the music have a constant downward progression much like the water torrent from those rains flowing in the gutters, which typically would carry sticks, stones, bits of glass, and almost everything and anything. [link] Elis Regina - Águas de Março (translated in english, Waters Of March) It's a stick, it's a stone It's the end of the road It's the rest of 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 It's the oak when it blooms It's a fox in the brush It's a knot in the wood It's the song of a thrush It's wind-resistant wood It's the falls of the ravine It's the profound mystery It's the you wish or you don't It's the wind blowing It's the end of the slope It's the beam, it's the void It's the new roof party It's the rain raining It's riverbank talk Of the waters of March It's the end of the struggle It's the foot, it's the ground It's the walk on the road Small bird in the hand A slingshot stone It's a bird in the sky It's a bird on the ground It's a creek, it's a fountain It's a piece of bread It's the bottom of the well It's the end of the way In the face the annoyance It's a little lonely It's a thorn, it's a nail It's a point, it's a dot It's a drop dripping It's an tally, it's a tale It's a fish, it's a gesture It's silver shining It's the morning's light It's the brick arriving It's the firewood, it's the day It's the end of the trail It's the bottle of liquor Splinter in the road It's the house's design It's the body in bed It's the broken down car It's the mud, it's the mud It's a footstep, it's a bridge It's a toad, it's a frog It's a rest of brush In the morning's light They are the waters of March Closing the summer It's the promise of life In your heart It's a snake, it's a stick It's John, it's Joseph It's a thorn in the hand It's the cut on the foot They are the waters of March Closing the summer It's the promise of life In your heart It's stick, it's stone It's the end of the road It's a rest of stump It's a little alone It's a footstep, a bridge It's a toad, it's a frog It's a beautiful horizon It's a tertian fever They are the waters of March Closing the summer It's the promise of life In your heart (featured in  's article: [link] )Stock by:  Copyright © 2008 Iza87 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- do NOT alter, manipulate, edit or reproduce this image. you may NOT use my work for personal or commercial purposes in any way. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
