"bridge over troubled water" (paul simon)

(fotografia de manuel alvarez bravo, "estudio de manos de tamayo, mexico", 1931)


"When you're weary, feeling small,
when tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
I'm on your side. When times get rough
and friends just can't be found,
like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

When you're down and out,
when you're on the street,
when evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
I'll take your part.
When darkness comes
and pain is all around,
like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

Sail on silvergirl,
sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine.
If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind" (1)
