Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Aguas De Março by Elis Regina from Portuguese to English.

It's stick, it's stone

It's the end of the road

It's a leftover stump

It's a little alone

It's a shard of glass

It's life, it's the sun

It's night, it's death

It's the loop, it's the hook

It's field peroba

It's the knot in the wood

Caingá, candeia

It's Matita Pereira

It's wind wood

It's the slope's fall

It's deep mystery

It's like it or not

It's the wind blowing

It's the end of the hill

It's the beam, it's the span

Ridgepole party

It's the rain raining

It's riverside talk

Of the waters of March

It's the end of fatigue

It's the foot, it's the ground

It's the road march

Bird in the hand

Slingshot stone

It's a bird in the sky

It's a bird on the ground

It's a brook, it's a spring

It's a piece of bread

It's the bottom of the well

It's the end of the road

Disgust on the face

It's a little alone

It's a splinter, it's a nail

It's a tip, it's a point

It's a dripping drop

It's an account, it's a tale

It's a fish, it's a gesture

It's shining silver

It's the morning light

It's the brick arriving

It's the firewood, it's the day

It's the end of the trail

It's a cane liquor bottle

The shard on the road

It's the house plan

It's the body in bed

It's the stalled car

It's the mud, it's the mud

It's a step, it's a bridge

It's a toad, it's a frog

It's a bit of brush

In the morning light

They're 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 João, it's José

It's a thorn in the hand

It's a cut on the foot

They're 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 leftover stump

It's a little alone

It's a step, it's a bridge

It's a toad, it's a frog

It's a beautiful horizon

It's tertian fever

They're the waters of March closing the summer

It's the promise of life in your heart

Stick, stone, end, road

Rest, stump, bit, alone

Shard, glass, life, sun, night, death, loop, hook

They're the waters of March closing the summer

It's the promise of life in your heart

SONG MEANING

Picture yourself walking a Brazilian country road after a blazing summer, while the first heavy March rains start to fall. In Águas de Março, Elis Regina and composer Tom Jobim turn that simple moment into a playful torrent of images: sticks, stones, frogs, bridges, shards of glass, and the hiss of the wind. Each short line lands like a raindrop, quick, vivid, and gone, inviting you to feel the rhythm of nature and language at the same time.

All those scattered snapshots add up to a larger mosaic about endings that are really beginnings. The March rains signal the close of Brazil's summer, yet they also soak the earth, planting a promise of life in the heart. By placing light and dark side by side - a broken bottle next to morning light, mud beside fresh timber - the song whispers that every ordinary moment carries the seed of renewal. Let the words rush past you like water and you will hear a gentle lesson: life keeps flowing, and hope is always just around the bend.
