Jobim AGUAS DE MARCO

Some music never goes out of fashion.

TOM JOBIM & ELIS REGINA - AGUAS DE MARÇO

The inventor of the Bossa Nova avoided collaborating with Elis Regina for years until this amazing duet.

I love the words to this song.

Here are the English lyrics

Waters of March

It is wood, it is stone It is the end of the way It is the rest of a bole It is a bit in loneliness

It is a shard of glass It is life, it is sun It is the night, it is the death It is the tie , it is the hook ...

It is peroba do campo It is the knob in the wood Caingá, candeia It is matita-pereira

It is madeira de vento The fall of the bluff It is a profound mystery It is the "want it or not want it"

It is the wind, blowing It is the end of the slope It is the beam, it is the span Festa da Cumeeira...

It is rain, raining It is a talk in idle of the waters of March It is the end of the tiredness

It is the foot, it is the ground It is the trail on the road Bird in the hand Stone of slingshot

It is a bird in the sky It is a bird on the ground It is a stream, it is a fontain It is a piece of bread ...

It is the bottom of the well It is the end of the way A woe in the face It is a bit in loneliness

It is a thorn, it is a nail It is a tip, it is a point It is a drop, dripping It is a bead, it is a tale ...

It is a fish, it is a gesture It is the silver, shining It is the morning light It is the brick, coming

It is the firewood, it is the day It is the worstest after the worst It is a bottle of cane Fragment on the road ...

It is the project of the house It is a body in the bed It is the car in breakdown It is the mud, it is the mud

It is a footstep, it is a bridge It is a frog, it is a frog It is a rest of bush... under the morning light

They are the waters of March, Closing the summer And the promise of life in your heart ...

It is a snake, it is a stick of wood It is João, it is José It is a thorn in the hand It is a cut in the foot ...

They are the waters of March, closing the summer... and the promise of life... in your heart

It is wood, it is stone It is the end of the way It is the rest of a bole It is a bit in loneliness

It is a step, it is a bridge It's a frog, it is a frog It is a beautiful horizon Interminent fever

They are the waters of March, closing the summer... and the promise of life... in your heart

-Esto, -Oco, -Ouco, -Inho -Oite, -Orte, -Aço, -Zol...

They are the waters of March, closing the summer... and the promise of life... in your heart

Of course Jobim had no trouble performing with Old Blue Eyes.
