Clavo mi remo en el agua Llevo tu remo en el mío Creo que he visto una luz al otro lado del río El día le irá pudiendo poco a poco al frío Creo que he visto una luz al otro lado del río Sobre todo creo que no todo está perdido Tanta lágrima, tanta lágrima why yo, soy un vaso vacío Oigo una voz que me llama casi un suspiro Rema, rema, rema-a Rema, rema, rema-a En esta orilla del mundo lo que no es presa es baldío Creo que he visto una luz al otro lado del río Yo muy serio voy remando muy adentro sonrío Creo que he visto una luz al otro lado del río Sobre todo creo que no todo está perdido Tanta lágrima, tanta lágrima why yo, soy un vaso vacío Oigo una voz que me llama casi un suspiro Rema, rema, rema-a Rema, rema, rema-a Clavo mi remo en el agua Llevo tu remo en el mío Creo que he visto una luz al otro lado del río
