<h2>Hello Steemit!</h2>

Managed to get an Open Mic not so late for this week :) !  Today I chose a song from Jorge Drexler , one of my favorite uruguayan composers called "Al otro lado del río'' ( ''On the other side of the river'' ) , this is a gorgeous song, I never performed one of Drexler's songs before but this one resonated with me lyrically and also musically. 

Hope you like it!

<center>***''Al otro lado del río''***
***(Jorge Drexler)***

Clavo mi remo en el agua 
Llevo tu remo en el mío 
Creo que he visto una luz al otro lado del río

El día le irá pudiendo poco a poco al frío 
Creo que he visto una luz al otro lado del río

Sobre todo creo que no todo está perdido 
Tanta lágrima, tanta lágrima why yo, soy un vaso vacío

Oigo una voz que me llama casi un suspiro 
Rema, rema, rema-a Rema, rema, rema-a

En esta orilla del mundo lo que no es presa es baldío 
Creo que he visto una luz al otro lado del río

Yo muy serio voy remando muy adentro sonrío
Creo que he visto una luz al otro lado del río

Sobre todo creo que no todo está perdido
Tanta lágrima, tanta lágrima why yo, soy un vaso vacío

Oigo una voz que me llama casi un suspiro
Rema, rema, rema-a Rema, rema, rema-a

Clavo mi remo en el agua 
Llevo tu remo en el mío
Creo que he visto una luz al otro lado del río

Here's a translation:

***"On the other side of the river''***
***(Jorge Drexler)*** 

I dive my oar in the river
I take your paddle with mine
I think I have seen a light
on the other side of the river

They day will little by little 
get over this cold
I think I have seen a light
on the other side of the river

But above all I believe
that not everything is lost
so much tears, so much tears
and I'm an empty glass

I hear a voice that calls me
like a whisper
''row , row , row, row , row''. 

In this shore of the world
what is not a prey is empty
I think I have seen a light
on the other side of the river

I very seriously keep rowing
but on the inside I am smiling
I think I have seen a light
on the other side of the river

But above all I believe
that not everything is lost
so much tears, so much tears
and I'm an empty glass

I hear a voice that calls me
like a whisper
''row , row , row, row , row''. 

I dive my oar in the river
I take your paddle with mine
I think I have seen a light
on the other side of the river</center>
