The water element has a symbolic, ancestral value in all cultures, and it is possible to trace, throughout human history, the importance that water had and still has for different cultures and the symbolic values that have been attributed to it. From an object of worship to a symbol of life, water is also associated with different cultural practices. To this extent, we find references to water in literature or painting and we find that, in these expressions, the symbolic values that each community attributes to the water element are evidenced. Thus, based on the importance and symbolic values of the water element in different cultures, in different cultural practices and in different expressions, we revisit the symbolic constructs associated with the water element in literature, particularly in an oral genre: spanish balads. In a very particular way, we intend to analyze the linguistic options of the lexical field of water in novels of the modern Iberian oral tradition, trying to verify to what extent the linguistic forms present in the texts contribute to the incorporation of metaphorical values of the water element and in what measure those are the underpinning of a symbolic construct.
