El Viaje

Oriol vall
Who takes care of newborns
In a hospital in Barcelona
Says the first human gesture is the hug

After coming into the world
At the beginning of their days
Babies wave their hands

As if looking for someone

Other doctors
Who take care of the ones who have lived
Say that the old
At the end of their days
Die wanting to raise their arms

And that's how it is
No matter how many turns we give to the matter
No matter how many words we use

To that, as simple as that
Everything comes down
Between two flaps
Without further explanation
The journey goes on

And now I invite you to walk
Down 13th Street
I assure you that you will have a great time
A great time because you will be in very good company
