Waters Of March - Tom Jobim (Cover) - English Version

English Version slightly edited

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
-------------------------------------------
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 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
And the riverbank talks of the waters of March,
It's the promise of life in your heart, in your heart

NO, NO, NO, and NO again. And yes it does matter what others say! Zamfir should not be doing hip hop no matter how good he thinks it sounds to HIMSELF

[JerkRant]

well taking in your philosophy then... most people who commented seemed to like it...

so if that's what matters to you... you should take that into consideration... because it really doesn''t matter how bad it might be to YOURSELF as your opinion isn't the beginning nor the end.

[Fretkillr]

I'm witty. You're have witty. You're a big phoney and your replies clearly display this for all to see not to mention your horrific videos. "I gotta stop drinkin' to save up for plane tickets to visit my friends so I can drink with them." You must make momma proud. You're a first class dolt and destined for a life of failure. You should be honored I even wasted my time replying to such a shining example of mediocrity. Quit music and get you're GED. Stop wasting bandwidth and precious oxygen.

[JerkRant]

you're a douche...

c'mon... come waste your time again...

reply to this provocation...

I know you still have nothing better to do

[Fretkillr]

Yikes! You really don't have a clue. I know couldn't play the real version if your life depended on it. I dare you to prove me wrong and post PLAYING the correct chords because this version is baby crap. Your rant makes you sound like a jerk. Now I get it. JerkRant

[JerkRant]

I was about to... but since you believe I should prove it to you I will forever leave you in your doubt...

you're one pompous fuckhead... you're not important.. and your thoughts, opinions, life has no worth effect or pertinence to me.

I'm pretty sure you're the one with no clue. You're still here arguing after making a badly phrased witty comment and assumptions based on "image"...

P.S. Maybe I sound like a jerk because I'm not exactly trying to be nice to you...

[recoiling]

I love your interpretation. It's raw and beautiful. Thank-you for sharing.

[dudeU2be]

If Dylan did Jobim?**&*& (LOL)

[MrFishfiddler]

Well sung.  Might be more accessible this way to crianças Americanas

[BIHS54]

Hey man, this cover is amazing, don't listen to the haters. Really, don't bother.

Very rich guitarwork and passion in the lyrics.

Works very well. Amazing cover and genius interpretation.

[tempranight]

Isto não é Bossa Nova. Mas, tudo bem, ele também não é Carioca... :)

[Passion8ly]

Let me tell you what I don't feel...when I watch the videos of Elis Regina and Tom Jobim doing the original of "Aguas de Marco" or "Waters of March" tears come to my eyes everytime but now, with this version, nothing...sorry dude. But you are entertaining...lol

[sobek2473]

I like it, nice interpretation, dark.

[gtgeorgetan]

hey dude,

not sure what others (cough cough) are on about. but i like your version.

and as long as you like it. don't matter what others say.

good on ya!
