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

◷ 2:02

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
Une gorgée aide-t-elle tout le corps ? Maya remplit sa gourde transparente Un élastique marque le niveau d'eau Elle l'emporte au parc par temps chaud Après sa course, ses joues sont bien chaudes Sur son front brillent des gouttes de sueur Une grande part de notre corps, c'est l'eau On en perd, alors on boit peu à peu Chaque gorgée remplace ce qui s'en va Et aide nos organes à bien travailler Maya souffle sur un miroir bien frais Son souffle y dessine de fines gouttes On perd aussi de l'eau dans l'urine Jeu ou chaleur nous font transpirer plus Une grande part de notre corps, c'est l'eau On en perd, alors on boit peu à peu Chaque gorgée remplace ce qui s'en va Et aide nos organes à bien travailler À l'ombre, elle boit par petites gorgées La sueur s'évapore et rafraîchit sa peau La soif ou la bouche sèche peut donner un indice Déshydratation : perdre plus qu'on ne boit Une grande part de notre corps, c'est l'eau On en perd, alors on boit peu à peu Chaque gorgée remplace ce qui s'en va Et aide nos organes à bien travailler Elle remplit sa gourde à un point d'eau potable Jeu, chaleur ou soif : le moment de boire
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
