El Viaje

Oriol valley
Takes care of newborns
In a hospital in Barcelona
Says the first human gesture is a hug

After coming into the world
At the start of their days
Babies flail around

Like, like they're searching for someone

Other doctors
Who care for the elderly
Say that old folks
At the end of their days
Die wanting to raise their arms

And that's how it is
No matter how many twists we give it
No matter how many words we throw in

To that, it's that simple
It all boils down to
Between two flaps
With no further explanation
The journey unfolds

And now I invite you to walk
Down 13th Street
I assure you, you'll have a great time
A great time because you'll be in good company
