Translation
Bilingual
On a crowded beach, in a distant town
At the heart of summer, see a boy of five
At the water's edge, so nimble and free
Jumping over the ripples, looking way out to sea
Now a man comes up from amongst the throng
Takes the young boy's hand and his hand is strong
And the child feels safe, yeah, the child feels brave
As he's carried in those arms up and over the waves
Deeper water
Deeper water
Deeper water
Calling him on
Let's move forward now, when the child's seventeen
With a girl in the back seat, tugging at his jeans
She knows what she wants, she guides with her hand
And a voice cries inside him, "I'm a man, I'm a man"
Deeper water
Deeper water
Deeper water
Calling him on
Well, the woman she's a woman, she's unlike the rest
He doesn't know it yet, but he's out of his depth
He thinks he can run, it's a matter of pride
But he keeps coming back like a cork on the tide
Deeper (Deeper water)
Deeper (Deeper water)
Well, the years hurry by and the woman loves the man
One night in the dark she takes hold of his hand
She says, "There, can you feel it kicking inside?"
And the man feels a shiver right up and down his spine
Deeper water (Deeper water)
Deeper water (Deeper water)
Deeper water (Deeper water)
Calling him on, hey
Now the clock moves around, the child is a joy
But death doesn't care just who it destroys
Now the woman gets sick, thins down to the bone
She says, "Where I'm going next, I'm going alone"
(Deeper water)
On a distant beach (Deeper water), lonely and wild
In later time (Deeper water), see a man and a child
And the man takes the child (Deeper water) up into his arms
Takes her over the break (Deeper water) where the water's calm
Deeper water (Deeper water)
Deeper water (Deeper water)
Deeper water (Deeper water)
Deeper water
