The Motorcycle Diaries - Al Otro Lado Del Rio english lyrics Jorge Drexler
English Subtitles

Ernesto Che Guevara and Alberto Granado`s motorcycle journey through Argentina, Chile, Peru, Colombia, and Venezuela

I drive my oar into the water
I take your arm in mine




I believe that I have seen a light
On the other side of the river.




The day will go strengthening you
Little by little against the cold
I believe that I have seen a light
On the other side of the river.

Above all I believe that
Not all is lost
So many tears, So many tears
And I, I am an empty vessel.




I hear a voice that calls me
Almost a sigh
Row, row, row on
Row, row, row on.




On this shore of the world
What is not taken is available to take
I believe that I have seen a light
On the other side of the river.




Very serious, I go on rowing




Deep inside I am smiling
I believe that I have seen a light
On the other side of the river.




Above all I believe that
Not all is lost
So many tears, So many tears
And I, I am an empty vessel.




I hear a voice that calls me
Almost a sigh
Row, row, row on
Row, row, row on.




I drive my oar into the water
I take your arm in mine
I believe that I have seen a light
On the other side of the river.

  • The difference between Castro and Guevara is that Guevara remained loyal to an idea, not to a man. That's why Cuba stopped growing after he left... Power has blinded Fidel, a long time ago.

  • Great Song, in a great movie, and also a valiant attempt to translate the original text.

    Ideologies and '...isms' may change fast or endure for long. Some ideals are changed almost as fast as we change socks, then again at the other side of the tracks we may always use the same pair of pants, everyday.

    This is the story of the awakening of a persons humanity. Regardless of political affiliation, an story well told. Magnifico.

    Great comment!

  • good song :D

  • In "With These Eyes" a young woman is faced with the wrath of industry when she is about to discover the secret behind Quantum Power, a real, sustainable green energy source.

  • Not the greatest translation, but it's alright.

  • Creo que he visto la luz al otro lado del río...

  • @imastering Very well said.

  • gran tema de Drexler

  • a must upload on my FB wall

  • Nice and actually it sounds more like Brazilian music

  • @TheJetzoom No estoy en contra de nada de lo que decís. De hecho, banco mucho al socialismo y por supuesto que banco al comandante Chávez, compañero de la Argentina en la empancipación de Latinoamérica. Pero fijate que Fidel puede pedir perdón miles de veces, pero condenó la homosexualidad durante décadas, y asedia a sus oponentes políticos en vez de ganarles en las urnas (y no hay burguesía ahí). Esas son características de falta de apertura política. Vamos por socialismo, pero sin fanatismos.
