El Hombre y El Agua
Joan Manuel Serrat
The Man and The Water
If man is a gesture, water is the story
If man is a dream, water is the direction
If man is a town, water is the world
If man is a memory, water is remembrance
If man is alive, water is life
If man is a child, water is Paris
If man steps on it, water splashes
Take care of it as it takes care of you
Jump, get wet, fly, wash
Water that comes and goes
River, foam, rain, mist
Cloud, spring, ice, sea
Water, mud on the road
Water that sculpts landscapes
Water that moves mills
Oh water!
That makes me thirsty to name you
Water that can withstand fire
Water that pierces the stone
Water that is in the heavens as on earth
Jump, get wet, fly, wash
Water that comes and goes
River, foam, rain, mist
Cloud, spring, ice, sea
