Lyrics and translation Kevin Johansen - Veredas de Agua

Veredas de Agua

Vengo de un barco marcad
Que navega desde siempre
Surge de un libro sin fondo,
Su derrota, la eternidad.

Si bien q veces me toca
La insignia de capitán,
Tambien a veces me asiento
En lugares como este,
En refugios como ustedes

Mi espalda, espejo de un viento
Que se apura y se endentece.
Por épocas me unifica,
Otras, me hace desintegrar.

Si algo he aprendido
En esta escuela fluvial,
Es que hay familia cercana,
El amor que da una hermana,
El abrazo del vecino argentino.

Sidewalks of Water

I come from a marked ship
That has always been sailing
It emerges from a bottomless book,
Its defeat, eternity.

Although at times I'm touched
By the badge of captain,
I also sit sometimes
In places like this,
In refuges like yours.

My back, a mirror of a wind
That hurries and slows down.
Sometimes it unifies me,
Others, it makes me disintegrate.

If I've learned anything
In this fluvial school,
It's that there's a close family,
The love that a sister gives,
The embrace of an Argentine neighbor.
