travesía — journey / voyage
Travesía translates to "journey" or "voyage," but it carries a sense of a long, often arduous, expedition.
In "La Travesía," Juan Luis Guerra uses this word to describe his extensive search across the globe for a love equal to the one he already has. He travels to numerous famous locations, only to conclude that his "travesía" was in vain because no one compares to his beloved. This makes the word central to the song's theme of unique and incomparable love.
