Lyrics: (english)
SWEET, RIVER RUNNING
Little by little life comes to me.
My blood, which I have almost never felt
Stirs, Salt pours through closed lids-
As I breathe people in.
Gods with their heads of animals-
Are licking me clean
Across dark streams of shooting
Stars falling
Into the streets.
No one walks near me without sharing
Some part of my being.
It is an afternoon for chasing sunsets;
As the soul of the orb reaches
The water, I fly to the beach
My heart in my arms- the sun,
A child in disguise.
I want to grow with you each morning,
Making love in spray and foam-
Feel the fluctuations of my
Own inner being.
I can cure all of my wounds through
Singing, just singing.
How beautiful is the Eternal, the
Clean air, strings of orange
Blossoms, grapes of topaz.

MIMOSA, RIO CORRIENDO
Poco a poco la vida me viene.
Mi sangre; despierta en el inquietude de
Mis dolores pasados. El sal corre
Desde mis parparos cerrados
Cuando respiro, la gente entra
Mi cuerpo. Me siento mas viva,
Levantandome verso el cielo.
Los dioses con cabezas de animales
Estan limpiando mi cuerpo con
Sus lenguas.
Estrellas brillantes estan cayendo
Verso le tierra nueva.
Nadie anda verso me sin
Compartiendo parte de mi cuerpo.
Es el tiempo delpuesto del sol.
Cuando el espiritu del mar
Sale del agua, vuelo verso el misterioso,
Mi Corazon en mis brazos. El sol es
Un nino, nuevo nacido.
Quiero crecer como una nina cada manana,
Hacer el amor en el agua y el espuma-
Sentir cada pequena movimiento de mi cuerpo.
Puedo curar mis heridas cantando y sentiendo
La vida.
Que bello es lo eternal, el air limpio,
Perlas de flores, uvas de topacio.
