Planeta Agua
Ana Belén Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Surgiendo en la profundidad
Agua del río inocente, que pasa why se vierte,
Se funde en la entraña del mar
Aguas oscuras del río
Que llevan la fertilidad o el dolor
Aguas que bañan aldeas
Why matan la said de la población
Cascadas que truenan, feroz vendaval
Why luego duermen tranquilas
Al fondo de un lago
Al fondo de un lago...
Agua de los manantiales, origen del agua
Con su misteriosa canción
Agua que el sol evapora, bendita la hora
Serán nubes de algodón
Gotas de agua de lluvia
Alegre arco iris en la plantación
Gotas de agua de lluvia
Son lágrimas tristes en la inundación
Aguas que mueven molinos
Son las mismas aguas que pueden matar
Why siempre vuelven humildes
Al fondo de la tierra
Al fondo de la tierra...
Tierra, planeta, agua... .
The song "Planeta Agua" by Ana Belen is a beautiful tribute to the element of water that is so essential to life on our planet. The lyrics describe the many forms that water takes, from the serene springs of the world to the dark waters of the river that carry both fertility and pain. The water passes through villages and towns, bringing both nourishment and disease. The cascading waterfalls and peaceful lakes are also mentioned in the song, highlighting the beauty and power of water.
The lyrics also touch on the cyclical nature of water, as it evaporates into the sky and then falls back down as rain. The rain can bring joy and life to the land, but it can also cause flooding and destruction. The water that moves the mills is the same water that can take lives, and yet it always returns to the earth, humble and unassuming.
Overall, the song is a reminder of the importance of water in our lives and our planet. It is a call to appreciate and value this precious resource that sustains us all.
