Al Otro Lado del Rio

Jorge Drexler

Clavo mi remo en el agua
Llevo tu remo en el mio
Creo que he visto la luz
al otro lado del rio

El dia lo ira pudiendo
poco a poco al frio
Creo que he visto la luz
al otro lado del rio

Sobre todo creo que
no todo esta perdido
Tanta lagrima, tanta lagrima y yo
Soy un vaso vacio
Oigo una voz que me llama,
casi un suspiro:
Rema, rema, rema
Rema, rema, rema

En esta orilla del mundo
lo que no es presa, es baldio
Creo que he visto la luz
al otro lado del rio

Yo muy serio voy remando
muy adentro me sonrio
Creo que he visto la luz
al otro lado del rio

Sobre todo creo que
no todo esta perdido
Tanta lagrima, tanta lagrima y yo
Soy un vaso vacio
Oigo una voz que me llama,
casi un suspiro:
Rema, rema, rema
Rema, rema, rema

Clavo mi remo en el agua
Llevo tu remo en el mio
Creo que he visto la luz
al otro lado del rio

At the Other Side of the River

transliterated by Guille Blando

I plunge my paddle in the water
I carry your paddle with mine
I think I have seen the light
at the other side of the river

The day, little by little,
will defeat the cold
I think I have seen the light
at the other side of the river

More than anything, I believe that
not everything is lost
So many tears, so many tears and I
I am an empty glass
I hear a voice calling me
almost a whisper:
Row, row, row
Row, row, row

In this shore of the world
Whatever is not prey, is empty land
I think I have seen the light
at the other side of the river

I’m rowing while I keep a serious look
deep inside I’m smiling
I think I have seen the light
at the other side of the river

More than anything, I believe that
not everything is lost
So many tears, so many tears and I
I am an empty glass
I hear a voice calling me
almost a whisper:
Row, row, row
Row, row, row

I plunge my paddle in the water
I carry your paddle with mine
I think I have seen the light
at the other side of the river

On the River’s Other Shore

lyrically translated by WayneSL

I plunge my oar in the water
And with it I carry yours.-
I believe I’ve seen the light
On the River’s Other Shore.

Little by little the daylight
Is turning the cold night to warm-
I believe I’ve seen the light
On the River’s Other Shore.

Above all, I believe
All is not lost at last
Oh so many tears, oh so many tears-
Now, I’m an empty-y glass
A small voice calls to me
almost a whisper:
Row now, Row now, Row now
Row now, Row now, Row now

On this sad edge of the planet
What we can’t hunt, we ignore-
I believe I’ve seen the light
On the River’s Other Shore.

I row with a serious face on
But I’m smiling down deep in my core-
I believe I’ve seen the light
On the River’s Other Shore.

More than anything, I believe that
not everything is lost
So many tears, so many tears and I
I am an empty glass
I hear a voice calling me
almost a whisper:
Row now, Row now, Row now
Row now, Row now, Row now

I plunge my oar in the water
And with it I carry yours.-
I believe I’ve seen the light
On the River’s Other Shore.

I plunge my oar in the water, And with it I carry yours.-
Refrain:
I believe I’ve seen the light On the River’s Other Shore.
Little by little the daylight Is turning the cold night to warm- (Refrain)

Chorus:
Above all, I believe all is not lost at last
Oh so many tears, oh so many tears-
Now, I’m an empty-y glass
A small voice calls to me- almost a whisper:
Row now; Row now; Row now! (repeat)

On this sad edge of the planet, what we can’t hunt, we ignore- (Refrain)

I row with a serious face on, but I’m smiling down deep in my core-(Refrain)
