The River
It always happens the same to me
when I wake up
hoping that he's not
around.
And I look at myself in the mirror
and there I am,
I met a man
and started talking.
I sold him my piece
of lunar land.
And it rained from the sky
over trees and seas.
And it rained for plants
to grow like animals.
I sailed for twenty-eight days
along the shore of a river
every hour of the day
without rest.
I crossed the desert, the jungle
and mountain forest
but the tired river
said to me, enough.
(Repeated)
And it rained...
Because it always rains
when I wake up.
