Letra de Alas i cannot swim

There´s a house across the river, but alas. I cannot swim
And a garden of such beauty that the flowers seem to grin
There´s a house across the river, but alas, I cannot swim
I´ll live my life regretting that I never jumped in

There´s a boy across the river with short black curly hair
He wants to be my lover and I want to be his peer
There´s a boy across the river but alas, I cannot swim
And I never will get to put my arms around him

There´s a life across the river that was meant for me
Instead I live my life in constant misery
There´s a life across the river but I do not see
Why I should please those that will never be pleased

There is gold across the river but I don´t want none
Gold is fleeting, gold is fickle, gold is fun
There is gold across the river but I don´t want none
I would rather be dry than held up by a golden gun

Saying work more, earn more, live more
Have more fun
