Remember, life is a journey

Where we go is not important

It doesn't matter what awaits us there

You squeeze every moment that the landscape offers us

Don't miss a detail

This is your journey

At first it's so easy

You don't have to do anything, you are born

And you make your parents happy

The first lesson would be that love is free

Or that life likes to deceive you

The years are the kilometers left behind

The experiences, fleeting moments that come and go

The past is a memory, the future a dream

And the present a damn moment that never stands still

What we learn, we unlearn

Sometimes just to learn it again

There are those who would say it's a waste of time

But you only lose what you have and time is not ours

We all look for advice

Either a trick, or a master

But no one really knows what this is about

Or how to do it, it's just a trip

Because life is a journey

Breathe, live and learn

Choose to be the one who risks and not be the one who regrets

Because life is like that

A box of surprises

It's everything that happens under the table

Let's shout from our pirate ship 'to board'

It doesn't matter if the sea is at peace or in a storm

Enjoy the trip

Some want to believe that everything has a reason

What I don't know is why they believe it

They say that if not, life would have no meaning

I say 'And why would I have it, friend?'

You learn that things happen and you are not the center

That the one with the best argument does not always win

That deserving something does not mean having it

But also that sooner or later something good always happens to you

There is a certain balance here

We all want more, but it is true that we live in cycles

You lose in one place what you gain in another place

And it's up to you to value what's in your pockets

On this journey there is no path

There is an end and there is a beginning

We are the ones who invented the route

So pick at least one that's entertaining, right?

Because life is a journey

Breathe, live and learn

Choose to be the one who risks and not be the one who regrets

Because life is like that

A box of surprises

It's everything that happens under the table

Let's shout from our pirate ship 'to board'

It doesn't matter if the sea is at peace or in a storm

Enjoy the trip

Although life likes to deceive you

life is a journey

Where we go is not important

It doesn't matter what awaits us there

Enjoy every moment

life is a journey

puñetero — damn / pesky

Puñetero is a colloquial and somewhat strong adjective that can mean "damn," "pesky," or "annoying." While it's not a curse word, it carries a sense of exasperation.

In the song, El Chojin uses it to describe the present moment: "Y el presente un instante puñetero que nunca se está quieto" (And the present a damn instant that never stays still). This vivid word choice perfectly captures the fleeting and restless nature of the present, making it a memorable and engaging term for learners.

El Chojin and Melendi team up for "El Viaje" [The Journey], a song that reminds us that life itself is a journey, and the destination isn't the most important part. What really matters is enjoying every single moment and detail along the way. They tell us, "Tú exprime cada instante que nos ofrece el paisaje" [You squeeze every instant that the landscape offers us], encouraging us to live life to the fullest.

This song is all about embracing the unpredictable nature of life. We're told that "La vida es así, una caja de sorpresas" [Life is like that, a box of surprises], and that we should choose to be the ones who take risks rather than regretting what we didn't do. It's a call to action to enjoy the ride, no matter if the sea is calm or stormy, because, as they say, "Este es tu viaje" [This is your journey].
