Barquito De Papel
Joan Manuel Serrat Lyrics
Barquito de papel
Sin nombre, sin patrón
Y sin bandera
Navegando sin timón
Donde la corriente quiera
Aventurero audaz
Jinete de papel
Cuadriculado
Que mi mano sin pasado
Cuando el canal era un río
Cuando el estanque era el mar
Y navegar
Era jugar con el viento
Era una sonrisa a tiempo
Fugándose feliz
De país en país
Entre la escuela y mi casa
Después el tiempo pasa
Y te olvidas de aquel
Barquito de papel
Barquito de papel
En qué extraño arenal
Habrán parado
Tu sonrisa y mi pasado
Vestidos de colegial
Cuando el canal era un río
Cuando el estanque era el mar
Y navegar
Era jugar con el viento
Era una sonrisa a tiempo

Catalan singer-songwriter Joan Manuel Serrat got involved in music at the age of 17, when he got his first guitar, to which he dedicates one of his earliest songs, "Una guitarra."
In early 60's the young artist participated in a pop band playing along with classmates at Barcelona's Agronomy School, doing mainly Beatles stuff and Italian 'pop-of-the-era' songs translated to Spanish.
In 1965, while singing in a radio show called Radioscope, host Salvador Escanilla helped him to get a record deal with local label Edigsa where he recorded his first EP, as well as became part of Els Setze Jutges, a group of Catalan artists aiming to promote a renaissance of Catalan culture after Spanish Franco's dictatorship and make it spread into popular classes.
Joan Manuel Serrat's first live stage performance in 1967 at the Catalan Music Palace, established definitely his name as one of the most important artists inside the 'Nova cançó' ('New Song') movement in Catalonia.
Next year, Spain originally entered Serrat in the Eurovision Song Contest 1968 to sing "La, la, la", but he asked to sing it in Catalan, to which the Spanish authorities would not agree. This would be the first time he came into conflict with the language politics of Francoist Spain, because of his decision to sing in his native Catalan language, repressed by Franco. After the incident, Serrat was hurriedly substituted by Massiel, who won the contest with her Spanish-language version. By that time Serrat's songs were banned and his records burned in the streets. He then traveled to South America and participated in the Rio de Janeiro's World Music Festival, where he took first place with the song "Penélope."
In 1969 Serrat released an album containing songs with texts of Antonio Machado, a well known Spanish poet of late 19th-early 20th century. This album gave him immediate fame in all Spain and Latin America though, in spite of this, his decission to sing in Spanish was still criticized in some nationalistic Catalan circles.
The release of 1971's Mediterráneo LP consolidated the artist worldwide. In 1976, Joan Manuel Serrat was acclaimed for the first time in the U.S.A. while performing in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York.
In late 1974, Serrat was exiled in Mexico due to his condemnation of arbitrary executions under Franco's regime. It wasn't until Franco's death (November 20, 1975) that Serrat was able to return to his homeland.
In January of 1995, the Spanish government gave him a medal for his contribution to the Hispanic culture. That same year, a tribute album called Serrat, Eres único was made to honor his career, featuring artists such as Diego Torres, Ketama, Rosario (Flores), Joaquín Sabina, and Antonio Flores. In the year 2000, the Spanish Association of Authors and Editors (SGAE) awarded him with one of ten Medals of the Century.
In October 2004 he revealed that he had been undergoing treatment for cancer of the bladder and in November that year he cancelled a tour of Latin America and the USA in order to undergo surgery in Barcelona, where he still lives. By that time, his wonderful song "Mediterráneo" was selected as the most important song of the 20th century in Spain.
His recovery was satisfactory, and in 2005 he went on a tour again ("Serrat 100×100") around Spain and Latin America with his lifelong producer and arranger, Ricard Miralles.
A second volume of Serrat, eres único was also released this year, featuring Alejandro Sanz, Estopa, and Pasión+Vega. Around the same time, Cuban artists such as Silvio Rodríguez, Pablo Milanés, Chucho Valdez, and Ibrahim Ferrer came together to make another tribute CD, Cuba le canta a Serrat.

Barquito aventurero
Soñador amado

Disfrute mi infancia
Que bellos recuerdos
Brotan lágrimas de emoción alegría

Se la canto a mis nietos

Precioso video !!! Tantos recuerdos......y más todavía por "esos malos tiempos" que corren......que son duros por muchos.
(Joan Manuel Serrat)
Barquito de papel,
sin nombre, sin patrón
y sin bandera,
navegando sin timón
donde la corriente quiera.
Aventurero audaz,
jinete de papel
cuadriculado,
que mi mano sin pasado
sentó a lomos de un canal.
Cuando el canal era un río,
cuando el estanque era el mar,
y navegar
era jugar con el viento,
era una sonrisa a tiempo,
fugándose feliz
de país en país,
entre la escuela y mi casa,
después el tiempo pasa
y te olvidas de aquel
barquito de papel.
Barquito de papel,
en qué extraño arenal
han varado
tu sonrisa y mi pasado,
vestidos de colegial.

Aventurero audaz
Jinete de papel cuadriculado

Sentó a lomos de un canal
Cuando el canal era un río
Cuando el estanque era el mar y navegar
Era jugar con el viento
Era una sonrisa a tiempo fugándose feliz de país en país
Entre la escuela y mi casa
Después, el tiempo pasa
Y te olvidas de aquel
Barquito de papel

En qué extraño arenal han varado
Tu sonrisa y mi pasado
Vestidos de colegial

Cuando el estanque era el mar y navegar

Ah.... cuantos lugares conocí en un barquito de papel... crucé los mares en él.. donde un charco era un oceano, y la corriente creada por la delgada lluvia, era un rio... ah... cuantos viajes hicimos mis hermanos, mi padre y yo... cuando aún teníamos la capacidad de usar nuestra mejor arma... la imaginacion!.
Mercy Vanegas
...a poner los barquitos de papel en la corriente de agua lluvia que para nos..era como un rio
Mercy Vanegas
Que hermosos recuerdos
-INOLVIDABLES-Cuando después de la lluvia mis hermanos y yo nos salíamos a la calle a poner los barquitos de papel en la corriente de agua lluvia -que para nos.era un ríoAH ¡ ¡QUE HERMOSOS RECUERDOS ! !
