Why Do We Need Water? | A Sip for the Whole Body

◷ 1:57

Maya discovers how the body continually loses water through breath, urine, and sweat—especially during active play and hot weather. This upbeat children’s song explains how small sips of safe water replace some of what is lost and help the body work properly.

Text from the recording’s subtitles.

Song lyrics
¿Un sorbo ayuda a todo el cuerpo? Maya llena su botella transparente Una banda marca el nivel del agua La lleva al parque en un día cálido Tras correr, sus mejillas están tibias Gotitas de sudor brillan en su frente Gran parte del cuerpo está hecha de agua La perdemos; bebemos poco a poco Cada sorbo repone una parte Y ayuda a los órganos a funcionar Maya sopla en un espejo bien frío Su aliento deja gotas en el vidrio También sale agua en la orina Con calor o al jugar, sudamos más Gran parte del cuerpo está hecha de agua La perdemos; bebemos poco a poco Cada sorbo repone una parte Y ayuda a los órganos a funcionar Bajo un árbol toma sorbos pequeños El sudor se evapora y enfría su piel La sed o la boca seca dan una pista Deshidratación: pierdes más de lo que bebes Gran parte del cuerpo está hecha de agua La perdemos; bebemos poco a poco Cada sorbo repone una parte Y ayuda a los órganos a funcionar Rellena con agua de una fuente segura Juego, calor o sed: momento de beber
Language version lyrics
Can one small sip help your whole body? Maya fills a clear bottle with water A rubber band marks the water line She takes it to the park that warm day After running, her cheeks feel warm Beads of sweat shine across her brow Much of our body is made of water We lose some, so we drink a little Each little sip puts some of it back And helps our organs work as they should Maya blows on a cool little mirror Her breath paints droplets over the glass We also lose water in urine Heat and active play make us sweat more Much of our body is made of water We lose some, so we drink a little Each little sip puts some of it back And helps our organs work as they should Under the tree, she takes a few small sips Sweat cools her skin as it evaporates Thirst or a dry mouth can be a clue Dehydration: more goes out than comes in Much of our body is made of water We lose some, so we drink a little Each little sip puts some of it back And helps our organs work as they should She refills from a safe water source Play, heat, or thirst—a good time for a sip
