Dora the Explorer is an American animated television series created by Chris Gifford, Valerie Walsh, and Eric Weiner. Dora the Explorer became a regular series in 2000. The show is carried on the Nickelodeon cable television network, including the associated Nick Jr. channel. It aired on CBS until September 2006. A Spanish-dubbed version first aired as part of a Nick en español block on NBC Universal-owned Telemundo through September 2006; since April 2008, this version of the program has been carried on Univision as part of the Planeta U block.
Dora, the main character, is an eight-year-old girl who embarks on a trip in every episode in order to find something or help somebody. She asks the viewers at home to help her find new ways to reach places with the help of Map. She also teaches viewers Spanish, introducing them to short words and phrases.
Dora has a positive view of the characters she meets, failing even to hold a grudge against the mischievous fox, Swiper, who continually attempts to steal items from her party. She acts against villains only when it seems that compromise is impossible, and even in these cases, fails to display actual anger. She gives others a chance to try their hands at tasks even when she herself might have an easier time with them. Dora values her family, whom she loves openly, though she spends little time indoors at home with them. She tries to introduce her traditions and customs, subtly and without compulsion, to those who are not familiar with them.

Your body is the shoreline
sometimes I am the sea
clinging desperately
feeling all the contours
Ebbing away
pulled by the tides
- the moon
and digital clocks
sensitive to nothing
Parting hours -
time falls through our fingers
Used to know a boy
He was so shy
Never knew his thoughts
He never knew mine
My troubles disappeared
Whenever he came close
Was walking on air
My feelings exposed
oo oo my life would be a different game
oo oo lucky never we became
oo oo and now so many years have past
oo oo my memories as clear as glass
I used to be the girl
Who never had a plan
Was only daydreaming
Of only one man
Smoking in my room
Crying over you
Walking on air
Into the blue
oo oo my life would be a different game
oo oo lucky never we became
oo oo and now so many years have past
Swimming, swimming,
swimming in those arms
whose embrace I knew before
only in my dreams
is a wonder, wonder,
wonder of such beauty
that I'm overwhelmed.
I'm drowning in ecstasy
Sinking into a sea of bliss
Drowning in ecstasy
Sinking into a sea of bliss
We are transfixed
The clouds, the wind,
the trees all whisper
to hush our frenzied fall
The clouds, the wind,
the trees all whisper
to hush our frenzied fall,
Another fight on the street below,
They've got things to prove.
Shouting threats and sending out a counterglow.
All they do is walk, talk, knit socks, wind clocks
and crawl on their bellies like a reptile.
I have no idea at all...
I hear a sound...
We talk of parks and simple places,
Sense the thickness of the air.
Highly strung like nervous guitars
My fingers make waves in you.
We're afraid to call it love,
Your songs remind me of swimming
Which I forgot when I started to sink
Dragged further away from the shore
And deeper into the drink.
Sat on the bottom of the ocean
A stern and stubborn rock
Cause your songs remind me of swimming
But somehow I forgot.
I was sinking and now I'm sunk
I was drinking and now I'm drunk
Your songs remind me of swimming
But somehow I forgot.
I tried to remember the
I can't remember the
Cause that song that sent me swimming
Is now the life jacket that burst.
Rotting like a wreck on the ocean floor
Sinking like a siren that can't swim anymore
Your songs remind me of swimming
But I can't swim anymore.
Pull me out the water, cold and blue
I open my eyes and see that it's you
So I dive straight back in the ocean
So I dive straight back in the ocean.
Take a deep breath, suck the water in my chest
Take a deep breath, suck the water in my chest
Cross my fingers and hope for the best
Then all of a sudden, I heard a note
It started in my chest and ended in my throat
Then I realized, then I realized,
Then I realized I was swimming
Yes I was swimming
And now I'm swimming
Yes I am swimming.
Your songs remind me of swimming
Which I forgot when I started to sink
Your songs remind me of swimming
Which I forgot when I started to sink
Oh, your songs remind me of swimming
Which I forgot when I started
Your songs remind me of swimming
Which I forgot when I started
Follow me into the sea.We'll see a fish or two.
We'll see the seaweed
Waving back and forth at us.
You and I,
We'll swim into the dark
Until our bodies implode
And our heart stop beating together.
Well, it's lonely at the bottom
And it's lonely at the top.
It's in the middle that I found you
Painting smiles in a large smock.
I would swim next to you forever,
But I fear that you will tire of me
And drift off with a shark.
The coral and the clown fish
Are extremely colorful,
But I would rather swim with you.
I rather hope that you would too.
Well, I haven't got a harpoon
And I haven't got a spear,
But there isn't anything to hunt
Anyway way down here.
It's funny, but I haven't got a clue
As to how one would fall in love with you,
But I still wish you'd stay
Ain't going away, its taking a lifetime
Running ahead out in my right mind
Needing you bad, feeling my soul fine
Cannot forget, had it with you all night
Run it down, run me down, run it down, run it down
Put me out, run me down, put me down, run me down
Let it down, let it down, let it down, let it down
Put me down, let me down, let me down, let me down
Digging my way out of this old mine
Giving em hell leaving em stone blind
Lend you hand now would you hold mine
Want it again, found it in your fine eyes
Put it down, put it down, put it down, put it down
Put me down, put me down, put me down, put me down
Put it down, let it down, let it down, let it down, let it down
Let me down, let me down, let me down, let me down
All of the days waiting for something alive
Found it in here, tell em to wait outside
Oh beautiful wings, seen in that angry light
Been here just to grow inside, thrown inside
Aint going away, its taking a lifetime
Running ahead out in my right mind
Needing you bad, feeling my soul fine
Cannot forget, had it with you all night
Run it down, run it down, run it down, run it down
Run me down, run me down, run me down, run me down
Let it down, let it down, let it down, let it down
Let me down, let me down, let me down, let me down
Put it down, put it down, put it down, put it down
Put me down, put me down, put me down, put me down
(Are you decaying)
Run it down, run it down, run it down, run it down
Let me down, let me down, let me down, let me down
Put it down, put it down, put it down, put it down.
