Water flows and water goes
Places no human being knows
Early mornings and midnights
It travels and travels all times
When the days are blazing hot
And our bodies are sweating a lot
Then the waters roll and come
From the earth and sky, freedom
When we listen to your chimes
And hear wet enchanted rhymes
When the fisher-man paddles
And the children throw pebbles
For they want to know where you go
If you don't tire and never grow old
In the long depths no man can peep
The secrets of eternity you keep
Friend of all, king of the earth
Silent and noisy with every breath
On an errand no one knows
Water flows and water goes.
