Chongqing - The Consulate General of Uruguay in Chongqing shared with us the optimistic song against the COVID-19 - CODO CON CODO (Elbow to Elbow), composed by Jorge Drexler who is a Uruguayan singer-songwriter, actor, doctor, lifeguard, musician and composer, as well as the winner of the Oscar Award for Best Original Song of 2004 for his song Al otro lado del río.

The song delivers the message that We will come out of this pandemic together. "Hugs will return, kisses given calmly." “If you meet a friend, greet him with the soul. Smile, air kiss from a distance. We are stand afar but our hearts are together. " the song goes, reminding people the measures that must be taken to prevent the virus, avoiding physical contact but maintaining cordiality with others.

Look people in the eye, show them that you care. If you can, do not worry, dealing with it is enough. Let love tip the scales. " he sings.

CODO CON CODO  by Jorge Drexler

Lyrics:

The hugs will return

the kisses given calmly

if you meet a friend

greet him with the soul

Smile

air kiss

We are stand afar

but our hearts are together

Body contact is not the only way to interact

Through the way of mind

Paranoia and fear, they are not, nor will they be the way

We will go out of this together side by side and shoulder by shoulder

Look people in the eye

Show them that you care

Stand at a distance but the hearts are close

If you can, don't worry

Dealing with it is enough

Let love tip the scales.

Paranoia and fear, they are not, nor will they be the way.

We will go out of this together side by side and shoulder by shoulder
