TRANSLATION BY VICTORIA VOX:
There's water all around me
and under the bridge I sit
each hour the bridge goes up
and the boats live their dreams

And they swim, like fish
without boundaries, on this round world
on the sea there is the wind, the sun
and if I have troubles, they're drowned

I will jump aboard a boat
hoist up its sails and go
untie the knots that hold me back
and take the captain’s wheel

And I swim, like a fish
without boundaries, on this round world
on the sea there is the wind, the sun
and if I have troubles, they're drowned

(final chorus)
And I swim, like a fish
without boundaries, towards the horizon
on the sea there is the wind, the sun
and if I have troubles, they're drowned
