El Ombligo
Joan Manuel Serrat
The Belly Button
Round belly button, beautiful pinch of the midwife in the smooth belly, native dimple that the sun longs for. It has the virtue of being small and not getting in the way. As a decorative adjective, there is nothing like it.
It is the one that plays the main role at the moment of birth. One grows and it, always a child, refuses to grow. Gravity has entrusted him with all the balance of the human body, which is always off balance. Carry it clean, it is the right arm, the conscience. If you carry it dirty, it will be the coffin of innocence. Round belly button, my best friend and others'. To the sky always faithful will come with us.
