Agua de Rio
Luis Alberto Spinetta
River Water
You say your eyes are on fire today
Scream even though the wind took your hands today
Don't stop creating, changing what's wrong
You can rise from here
It says what the deceiving word doesn't say
Water, river water, turbulent and marginal
Invades your bed
Moves like the hands of a clock
They fall like they fall but will never fall
They dream like they dream but will never dream
Everything they tell will no longer be told
Steps beside your path
Souls that drain in their silk swing
Travel on the journey that moves your life the most
Think before you act
Because demons start from within
Then, look at their sordid centipede posture
Empty knots touch on a stem
A stem that sank
They continue as their footsteps do without a setback
The spores of their skin rise like never before
Only your restless silence consumes them
It says your eyes are on fire today
Scream even though the wind took your hands today
Don't stop creating, changing what's wrong
You can rise from here
It says what the deceiving word doesn't say
Water, river water, turbulent and marginal
Invades your bed
Moves like the hands of a clock
They fall like they fall but will never fall
They dream like they dream but will never dream
Everything they tell will no longer be told
