The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Barquito de Papel" by Joan Manuel Serrat.
Lyrics
Barquito de papel,
sin nombre, sin patrn
y sin bandera,
navegando sin timn
donde la corriente quiera.
Aventurero audaz,
jinete de papel
cuadriculado,
que mi mano sin pasado
sent a lomos de un canal.
Cuando el canal era un rio,
cuando el estanque era el mar
y navegar,
era jugar con el viento
era una sonrisa a tiempo,
fugndose feliz
de pas en pas,
entre la escuela y mi casa,
despus el tiempo pasa
y te olvidas de aqul
barquito de papel.
Barquito de papel,
en qu extrao arenal
han varado,
tu sonrisa y mi pasado
vestidos de colegial.
Lyrics translation
Paper boat,
no name, no pattern
and no flag,
browsing without timn
wherever the Tide wants.
Bold adventurer,
paper rider
grid,
that my hand without a past
I sit on the back of a canal.
When the canal was a river,
when the pond was the sea
and navigate,
it was playing with the wind
it was a smile on time,
running away happy
step by step,
between school and my house,
after time passes
and you forget here
paper boat.
Paper boat,
in Qu extrao arenal
they're stranded.,
your smile and my past
schoolboy dresses.
