“Little paper boat”
(Translation by Chris Cuniah)
Keep afloat my little paper boat
Stay afloat and carry all my dreams
Nothing is faster than you in the canal
Straw, foliage, stick, you overtook them all
Alongside the canal, to follow you, I run
In my mind, my heart and soul, we are one
The water in the canal guides your destiny,
And it also guides my destiny
Keep afloat my little paper boat
Stay afloat and carry all my dreams
Out of a bus-ticket your flag danced
On a match-stick, proud in its stance
Fearing that you’ll capsize, my heart rends,
Where the water begins, where the water ends
Are all things not just an illusion in the end?
Keep afloat my little paper boat
Stay afloat and carry all my dreams
You’re not aware of the dangers of life itself
How many like me have launched one like you
How many after me will launch one like you
People are saying that history repeats itself
With your hope and my courage we’ll make history ourselves
Keep afloat my little paper boat
Stay afloat and carry all my dreams
