El río

Es claro lo que decía el griego aquel. La vida es un río y sus aguas no son las mismas. Es cierto, pero no es exacto. Metes los pies y sigues sintiendo frío, los mosquitos te saludan y en general te sientes bien.

Las aguas no son las mismas, pero el río que es la vida sigue fluyendo y trae todas esas cosas que valen la pena. Los llantos de los bebés, las risas de los niños, el ladrido de los perros...

Los que se han ido nunca regresan, es cierto, pero otros ocupan sus lugares. Incluso, uno mismo de repente está en el papel de ese abuelo entrañable al que no se ha dejado de extrañar un solo día y la hija amada se sobrepone a la imagen que se desvanece de la madre que tanta falta nos hace.

Por eso, ahora hundo mis pies en el río, toco con ellos las piedras del fondo, cierro los ojos y sé que soy parte de la vida de todos.

Eso hace que me sienta contento, muy contento.

Time keeps movin' on,
Friends they turn away.
I keep movin' on
But I never found out why
I keep pushing so hard the dream,
I keep tryin' to make it right
Through another lonely day, whoaa.

Dawn has come at last,
Twenty-five years, honey just in one night, oh yeah.
Well, I'm twenty-five years older now
So I know we can't be right
And I'm no better, baby,
And I can't help you no more
Than I did when just a girl.

Aww, but it don't make no difference, baby, no, no,
And I know that I could always try.
It don't make no difference, baby, yeah,
I better hold it now,
I better need it, yeah,
I better use it till the day I die, whoa.

Don't expect any answers, dear,
For I know that they don't come with age, no, no.
Well, ain't never gonna love you any better, babe.
And I'm never gonna love you right,
So you'd better take it now, right now.

Oh! But it don't make no difference, babe, hey,
And I know that I could always try.
There's a fire inside everyone of us,
You'd better need it now,
I got to hold it, yeah,
I better use it till the day I die.

Don't make no difference, babe, no, no, no,
And it never ever will, hey,
I wanna talk about a little bit of loving, yeah,
I got to hold it, baby,
I'm gonna need it now,
I'm gonna use it, say, aaaah,

Don't make no difference, babe, yeah,
Ah honey, I'd hate to be the one.
I said you're gonna live your life
And you're gonna love your life
Or babe, someday you're gonna have to cry.
Yes indeed, yes indeed, yes indeed,
Ah, baby, yes indeed.

I said you, you're always gonna hurt me,
I said you're always gonna let me down,
I said everywhere, every day, every day
And every way, every way.
Ah honey won't you hold on to what's gonna move.
I said it's gonna disappear when you turn your back.
I said you know it ain't gonna be there
When you wanna reach out and grab on.
