El Agua
Original Version in Spanish


Veo el agua caer del cielo
Todos se miraban como lo vieron
Estaba Limpia y Puro
Algo que nadie hubiera visto
Como si estuvieran asustados
Lo miraron, mucho mejoraron  

Como Mucha gente me decía
Salvemos el mundo si o si
El agua que tomamos es fácil de encontrar
Pero el agua limpia no la encontraras 

Agua Sucia, que te vayas
No te queremos mas aqui
Porque así nos ensuciaras
Al Planeta y a mi 

Lo bueno que recuerdes 
Es que no estás solo 
Juntos mejoramos y un lindo planeta viviremos  

Agua Agüita como un buen niño te prometo que no te fallare
Yo me comprometo a defenderte
Así Como Pasan los días
Es un dia bueno para hacer una diferencia

Cada gota de agua cuenta
La gente no tiene conciencia 
Y lo que hacen es malgastar 
Llegara un dia de sequía 
Que Dios nos favorezca, y nadie más

Levantate gente, levantate 
Es hora de reunion 
Porque nuestro mundo necesita acción

Water
English Version


I see the water fall from the sky
They all looked at each other as they saw it
It was clean and pure
Something that no one would have seen
like they were scared
They looked at it, much improved

As many people told me
Let's save the world yes or yes
The water we drink is easy to find
But you won't find clean water

Dirty water, go away
We don't want you here anymore
Because then you dirty the planet and to me


The good thing you should always remember
is that you are not alone
Together we improve and a beautiful planet we will live

Water water like a good child I promise you that I will not fail you
I promise to defend you
As the days go by
It's a good day to make a difference

Every drop of water counts
people have no conscience
And what they do is waste
There will come a day of drought
May God favor us, and no one else

Get up people, get up
It's meeting time
Our world needs action
Picture
My Name is Aby, and I have been inspired to take action on the water is life project as it is a worldwide problem around the world I have chosen to make a poem in spanish.
