Waters of March (Aguas de Março) - Nataly Dawn & Carlos Cabrera

[@markinlondon4820]

I’ve never heard an English version of this that does justice to the poetry but also the playfulness of the Tom and Elis original. Well done.

[@Ambidextroid]

Actually Tom wrote both the Portuguese and English lyrics, and changed some of the lyrics in the English version to better suit the language and region

[@markinlondon4820]

@@Ambidextroid Huh, didn't know that. Interesting.

This has become my favorite rendition of this song. The fun you've infused into my memory of it explodes when I dance with another to any rendition. Thank you and be safe.

The power behind this song , with all it brings , so simple but reaches levels deep within the SOUL , from the joy to the PAIN of LIFE , but how with all that HAPPENS to us as well as every form of LIFE here , what we LIVE is PRICELESS and maybe if we looked at each as Priceless we would cause less Harm , show more respect for each other as well as the PLANET , we were never a COLOR but rather BEINGS with so much BEAUTY to SHARE , as I write this my eyes fill with tears , Humanity needs to GROW UP , the only POLITICS that matter are the Politics of LOVE , Imagine THAT

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 fange 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 sound of a shot 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 A float, a drift, a flight, a wing A hawk, a quail, the promise of spring And the river bank 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 river talks of the waters of March It's the promise of life 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 river bank talks of the waters of March It's the end of all strain, it's the joy in your heart

[@RicardoSilva-ru7jj]

Música conta a história sobre uma casa que Tom construiu na floresta no Rio de Janeiro, ele teve muitos problemas com pedreiros e a obra atrasou e ele tinha que acabar antes de começar a época de chuvas, pois iria trazer mais atrasos e transtornos. Como Elis acompanhou toda essa história, pois eram amigos, ninguém melhor do que ela pra acompanhá-lo nesse dueto, o gênio transformou um aborrecimento em poesia.

[@naubermiranda1025]

Foi a inspiração da música, mas ela não é um relato dessa história.

[@vyy00bet]

Eu pensava que era uma referência à Ditadura Militar. Genial do mesmo jeito

[@CarlosMoraesCom]

@@vyy00bet , apesar de ser contra o regime, Tom não fez nenhum música de protesto.

[@traduzindo_shorts]

Foi da onde começou, mas a música não é sobre isso em específico. Ele enxergou algo muito mais amplo naquela situação e na letra da canção ele fala sobre a vida.

[@arthurmayer3293]

Nao sabia disso, muito grato

..still loving rhis song...cause its March, latin beat is timelesss

[@rjbramirez]

No matter where i look for good music, I can't describe enough how unique and amazing Nataly's voice is. I blindly picked this version and it sounds amazingly well composed and executed. The second I heard her voice I was like, oh I know her!

[@unklewink]

It's March once again and I must hear this song! You guys did such a wonderful job! (I know, I'm repeating myself, but that bears repeating) You bring joy to my heart!

I am Brazilian. I live in the northeast of Brazil. This "Waters of March" version is so cool! Congrats!!

[@カヤ-g1c]

it's very nice visually translation. I had no clue about portuguese then, now I understand about this song. it's about ordinary things become something special through love by two. which is my understanding.

That shot on "a riddle" hahahaha! 2:40

[@CarlosCabreraMusic]

+Josh Fletcher I think you're the first one to catch it (and write about it)!!! We were surprised by how that worked out - totally unplanned. We found those chickens, got a bit of footage, and then Nataly realized...a riddle!

[@unklewink]

+Carlos Cabrera Every time I watch it, I discover something I missed before.

[@girlandherguitar]

+Carlos Cabrera I caught it too! It made me laugh out loud. Excellent visual collage to this gorgeous song.

[@SingleShotSingleTake]

I am really dense. Is the riddle the fact it is ambiguous footage of a chicken running. Like a why is it a chicken running? Haha. I am not the brightest person around.

[@shadowtheboxer8533]

Just discovered this song. Looked for an English version and found you two. Thank you so much you beautiful people. Love & hugs xxx

[@josuestos]

Wow! This is gorgeous. The voices are as simple as the lyrics. Águas de março (waters of March) has always been on my top list. I love the soft bossa Nova moving as much as I love the sound and the poetry. Well done to you, guys.

[@LateShowBottomEnd]

This is such a fun video & version of this classic! Well done, guys-woo HOO!

[@jimlandreth6740]

I am an American who lived in Rio when this song landed #1 in ‘74 I think? My favorite song of all time. Reminds me of my mom. Anyway I am very close to a friend of mine who’s Brazilian and a singer and who lives out here in the US. I said she should do a version in English and out it on KZbin a couple months back. I showed her your video and she said no I don’t need to they encompassed exactly what Jobim would’ve wanted. Cheers to that!!!

[@lolasmile3]

Amei!!!! Maravilhoso!

[@bigj8442]

this song helps greatly to reconcile some feelings about the loss of a beautiful little senorita, perfect video guys thanks

[@natalydawn]

Sorry to hear about your heartache, but happy I was apart of positive change.

[@bigj8442]

very sweet of you thank u

[@OsorioThomaz1]

This song is a masterpiece of world music, either because of its melody, the harmony that accompanies the senses of the lyrics or the lyric itself. I don't see any major problems in the absence of the quote to the song's author (Tom Jobim), because in fact, I think that few people who really matter are unaware of this fact. One problem, if any, is in the emotional environment of the interpretation. In their version, this song becomes a "happy song" and, in a way, this way of interpreting loses some of the meaning of the lyrics. It is night, it is death, it's a trap, it's a gun This is not very happy. The night with its darkness, death and weapons are not happy things. Likewise, several passages of the letter alternate between pleasant and unpleasant things. It is about talking about life itself, about the alternation and coincidence between good and evil, happiness and sadness, violence and calm. Life, according to Tom Jobim and also according to most sensible human beings, is neither happy nor sad, and the grace of life is just that. To be happy is to hear a thrush singing (or Matita Pereira, in the original Brazilian version) and to be unhappy is to reach to the end a path of sticks and stones. It was Tom Jobim himself who wrote the lyrics in English as well, but he confessed that he had difficulties in adapting Brazilian feelings to North Americans. In the philosophy of the song, there is a life that is worth living, not because it is made only of good and happy things, but because it alternates and brings together sadness and happiness. Life is worth living simply because it is as it is. In this version, many heavier chords of the harmony were suppressed to generate a happier emotional environment and in a way, when composing the clip, Carlos Cabrera holds a gun as if he were playing, doing something pleasurable. Given the original harmony of the song, this scene would be impossible. Death and weapons are parts of life, but not pleasant parts of it. That's why all the previous harmonies in this song use heavier chords in this type of passage. The tone of the interpretation gains more syncopated notes that accompany the first letters of linguopalatical or bilabial sounds. These are sounds that must have the characteristic of a slap, which would be relieved by softer sounds in other verses that follow. Perhaps, it is impossible for an American to understand that there is grace in a life that alternates pain and joy, perhaps it is impossible for them to understand that it is not possible to be happy with death or weapons, but that it is possible to understand the greatness of a life that has it all. Maybe it's just a simple cultural difference, maybe they understand something that I don't understand and that's why they recorded this song as if it were a happy song. Who knows? Note that I did not say that March water is an unfortunate song, on the contrary, it is a song that celebrates life in all its dimensions and that is why it is magnificent. There is a general feeling of optimism in the song, but this optimism does not depend on whether we are happy or sad, but simply on being alive. When Tom and Elis were recorded, we were not happy and relieved, we were perplexed by the complexity and wonder that is life.

[@mrtoastey]

What a great essay about the nuances of one of my favorite songs of all time. Thank you!

[@inamicusatto]

This is still my favorite English cover of this song. Something about the melody of this song, in all versions, just has me emotional in a good way. Love this song so much

[@johndoe2]

Love this song! It's the first time I hear it in English (instead of French). Also, first time seeing Carlos being not-crazy.

[@antiantipoda]

I had never heard the English version. The lyrics are pretty pretty, if that's not too redundant. In Portuguese it goes something like this: "It's the March rains, closing the summer, it's a promise of life in your heart." Because it rains in parts of Brazil in March, end of summer, and Tom Jobim thought it was poetic, even with the yearly floods and landslides. ;) Thanks for introducing me to this version in your absolutely poetic interpretation.

[@diamante9721]

antiantipoda foi o tom jobim que criou a versão em ingles, se colocasse a tradução literal não ia ter ritmo

[@antiantipoda]

Literal nunca dá pra ser em versão de música, mas o ponto aí é que talvez a versão em inglês seja mais poética do que a em português. Ou quem sabe, pros meus ouvidos cansados, soa nova e portanto melhor. Eu tinha uma vaga idéia de que era ele mesmo que fazia as versões. A garota de ipanema em inglês por outro lado é horrível.

[@pedromendes4515]

[@gustavoleal9694]

[@joaoleitaum2595]

[@traduzindo_shorts]

Tom Jobim escreveu a letra em inglês. Não é uma tradução literal, mas uma adaptação. Mas não é uma adaptação pesada, só fez em alguns momentos, o resto é tradução.
