Río
Silvio Rodriguez
River
Today I know there is nothing impossible
Last night I learned the truth
I thought my soul was useless
But it was just common fatigue, nothing more
You are a gift from the breeze
A being of resurrection
A bird with a laugh
Able to drag the night to the Sun
River, river, river
River of truth
Like an animal
That has been set free
River
I let myself go in a joyful hand, foreseeing
Because tomorrow, maybe, there is a burial
And a bite of panther in my deepest
River
And it's not a challenge
To the life of dreams
It's that I live on the way to the cemetery
