In secret depths, a hero dwells,
Amphibian Man, with tale to tell.
A Soviet dream, of science and might,
A world where man and beast take flight.
In Argentina's sun-kissed shore,
A greedy captain seeks to explore,
But Ichthyander, son of a scientist true,
Lives underwater, with a heart anew.
With gills and wonder, he swims the sea,
A secret world, where few may be,
His father's hope, a utopia to claim,
Where humans live, without capitalist shame.
But Zurita, a villain, ruthless and cold,
Seeks to exploit Ichthyander's gift, to unfold,
A tale of love, of danger and of might,
As Amphibian Man battles through the night.
The film's a journey, through water and air,
With cinematography, that's beyond compare,
Innovative and bold, a true work of art,
A testament to Soviet cinema's heart.
With a score that's electronic, and jazzy too,
It captures the mood, of a world anew,
A world where humans live, in harmony with sea,
A world where science and magic set us free.
Though critics may scorn, and reviewers may sneer,
The audience responded, with enthusiasm clear,
For Amphibian Man, a true classic stands,
A shining star, in Soviet cinema's hands.
A spiritual homage, to del Toro's tale,
A reminder of the power, of a hero's gale,
For Amphibian Man, a hero of old,
Remains a beacon, in the darkness, to be told.
