THE RIVER

Listen to the sound of the river, my son
Let this sound rock you along
The leaves that fall into the river, my son
End up in the waters of the sea

When tomorrow by chance
Happiness is lacking in your heart
Remember the sound of the waters
Make that river your prayer

Remember my son, it has passed, it will pass
This certainty that science gives to us
That it will rain when the sun gets tired
So that we will never want for flowers
