Todos los rios - All rivers

Explanation of the song

How many men are there in the world today? How many have already lived? How many are still to come? We cannot know. What does surprise us is seeing that this small world is never filled. We are placed in Someone’s hands which are much stronger and safe than those of the men who think they control everything. They shall also pass away and the world will shortly start forgetting them.

There is nothing new under the sun. We think that we do things which have never been seen before. We think that we are the first to reach the great heights of thought and culture and then we read perhaps a few sentences from the 15th or 16th century and we discover that we haven’t invented anything. This song’s lyrics were written over two thousands years ago, but the words amazingly still speak to us today. It reminds us how little man is, always believing he discovers the path that has already been travelled so many times, making illusions about his extraordinary capacity. The kingdom of heaven is for the humble and simple who do not place their trust in the small ideas that cannot save, but rather in God, the author of man’s life and thought. He is the Sea that is never filled. And man can be Everything in Him, while we already know where man can go on his own.

All Rivers

All things become tiresome and
no one can explain them.
The eyes are not satisfied by seeing
nor are the ears satiated by hearing.
What happened already, will happen again,
there’s nothing new under the sun,
It already happened in other times before.
No one remembers those who came before,
And the same will happen with those yet to come.

All rivers flow to the sea
and yet the sea is not filled.
Once they reach the place they’re going,
they will once again flow.

What profit does man receive
from the fatigue that tires him under the sun?
One generation passes and another comes,
While the earth barely finds time to breathe.
If they say, “Look, this is new!,”
it already happened in other times before.
Nobody remembers those who came before,
And the same will happen with those yet to come.
All rivers flow to the sea...

Todos los ríos
Todas las cosas cansan y nadie las sabe explicar
No se sacian los ojos de ver ni se harta el oído de oír
Lo que pasó, eso pasará, nada nuevo hay bajo el sol,
ya sucedió en otro tiempo antes.
Nadie se acuerda de los antiguos,
y lo mismo pasará con los que vengan

Todos los ríos caminan al mar
Y el mar no se llena
Llegados al lugar a donde van

Volverán a caminar
¿ Qué saca el hombre de las fatigas que lo hartan bajo el sol?
Una generación se va, otra generación vendrá,
Mientras la tierra apenas, tuvo tiempo de respirar
Si se dice “mira esto es nuevo”
ya sucedió en otro tiempo antes ...
