The song is about a man who is walking along the path to the river and remembers when he walked that path every morning when he was young and was in love with a girl and they lived a love story.
VOICE 1: Low lights, old road, kisses at every stop, long day, to start all over again. And I look in the same mirror and in each image another image is missing. There's extra space in my chest, girl, to remember you. CHORUS: Little path to the river. VOICE 1: Every morning, girl, that I stray, your soul was given to me in my hands, your soul was given to me. CHORUS: Little path to the river. VOICE 1: Every morning, girl, that I stray, your soul was given to me in my hands, your soul was given to me. And another time that I go out and another time that I return, I fall and I get up, another time that I drag my sorrows to the river and I get rid of them well. And it all begins down below, it repeats itself so much and is cut short. I think so many pleasures are leaving me, girl, rolling down the hill. CHORUS: Little Path to the River VOICE 1: Every morning, girl, that I stray, Your soul was given into my hands, Your soul was given to me. CHORUS: Little Path to the River VOICE 1: Every morning, Your soul was given into my hands, Your soul was given to me. I know that you would like to go back, But there is something about you, That is going badly, It seems that fate has thrown you into the sea. Maybe you think that this way you will know if I will continue singing just for you. CHORUS: Little Path to the River VOICE 1: Every morning, girl, that I stray, Your soul was given into my hands, Your soul was given to me. CHORUS: Little Path to the River VOICE 1: Every morning, Your soul was given into my hands, Your soul was given to me.
VOZ 1: Luces bajas, carretera vieja,
besos en cada parada,
larga jornada,
para empezar todo de nuevo
otra vez.
Y que me miro al mismo espejo
y falta en cada imagen
otra imagen que sobra espacio
en el pecho, niña,
para recordarte
CORO: Caminito al río
VOZ 1: Cada mañana,
niña, que desvío,
se me dio tu alma entre las manos,
se me dio
tu alma.
CORO: Caminito al río
VOZ 1: Cada mañana,
niña, que desvío,
se me dio tu alma entre las manos,
se me dio
tu alma.
Y otra vez que salgo
y otra vez que vuelvo,
caigo y me levanto,
otra vez que arrastro
mis penas al río
y de ellas me deshago yo bien.
Y todo empieza abajo,
se repite tanto
y se corta de un tajo creo que se me va
tantos placeres, niña,
rodando cuesta abajo.
CORO: Caminito al río
VOZ 1: Cada mañana,
niña, que desvío,
se me dio tu alma entre las manos,
se me dio
tu alma.
CORO: Caminito al río
VOZ 1: Cada mañana,
se me dio tu alma entre las manos,
se me dio
tu alma.
Sé que tú quisieras regresar,
pero hay algo en ti,
que va fatal,
parece la suerte te has echado al mar.
Tal vez piensas que así sabrás
si seguiré cantando
solo por ti.
CORO: Caminito al río
VOZ 1: Cada mañana,
niña, que desvío,
se me dio tu alma entre las manos,
se me dio
tu alma.
CORO: Caminito al río
VOZ 1: Cada mañana,
se me dio tu alma entre las manos,
se me dio
tu alma.
