Aquarela [English translation]

I draw a yellow sun

On a random sheet of paper

And it's easy to make a castle

Using five or six straight lines

I run the pencil around my hand

And make myself a glove

And if I make it rain

I'll have an umbrella

With only a couple of doodles

If a tiny drop of paint

Falls on a blue

Portion of the paper

I can imagine a beautiful seagull

Flying in the sky

In just a second

It flies away

Around the huge

North and South curve

I go with it

Traveling, Hawaii

Beijing or Istambul

I paint a sailboat

Sailing smoothly

So much sky and sea

In a green-blue shade

A beautiful pink and maroon

Airplane comes rising

Between the clouds

Colouring everything around it

With its flashing lights

All you have to do is imagine

That it's taking off, peacefully and beautifully

And that if we want it to

It will land

I draw a ship

On a random sheet of paper

Sailing off

With some good buddies

Drinking, happy with their lives

I can go from one America to the other

In just a second

I turn a simple compass

And make the world in a circle

A boy walks

And by walking comes to a wall

And just beyond it

Awaiting us

Lies the future

And the future is a spaceship

That we try to control

It doesn't have any time, or any mercy

Or even an arrival time

It changes our lives

Without asking for permission

And then it invites us

To laugh or to cry

On this road, it's not our duty to

Know or see what's coming next

Nobody really knows

Where it takes us in the end

We all walk

Down this beautiful path

In a watercolour

That one day, after all

Will fade away

I draw a yellow sun

On a random sheet of paper

(That will fade away)

And it's easy to make a castle

Using five or six straight lines

(That will fade away)

I turn a simple compass

And make the world

In a circle

(That will fade away)
