Águas de Março [English translation]
Águas de Março [English translation]
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 shard of glass
It is life, it's the sun
It is night, it is death
It's the snare, it's the fishhook...
It's the peroba1 of the country
It's the knot in the wood
Caingá2, A lamp3
It's the matita-pereira4...
It's wind-resistant wood
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 span
The Cumeeira Festival5...
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
On the face, the heartbreak
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,
The 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...
-Pau, -Edra, -Im, Inho
-Aco, -Idro, -Ida, -Ol
They are the waters of March
Closing the summer
It's the promise of life
In your heart...
