Agua de Rio
Antonio Vega
River Water
Dark night, keep me from fear
Between seas, I am river water
Labyrinth that disturbs reason
Of the one who carries mud and sand in the heart.
Gentle breeze, keep me from the cyclone
Between winds, I am wheat stalks
White moon, white is my devotion
In your eyes, I wanted to see myself
Woe is me, of my ambition!
And there I sat by the road
While the river water splashed on me
Thousands of dreams like mine
Thousands of drops of river water
Woe is me, of my ambition!
Cold water, clean, clear
Take me to the sea
Cold water, in other waters
I wanted to find myself
And there I sat by the road
My life turbid like the river water
So many memories like mine
Bathed by those river drops
That's how I fell asleep by the road...
While the river water flowed turbid...
That's how I fell asleep by the road...
While the turbid water flowed...
Thousands of dreams like mine...
