No era el hombre más honesto pero él
He was not the most honest man but he
Era un hombre valiente y fiel

Tampoco la piedad se cobijaba en él
Nor was pity sheltered in him
Malvivía, alquilando por tres maravedís
He lived poorly, renting for three maravedis
Su espada y vizcaína en
The sword of him and Biscayan in
Ajustes de poco lustre y de peor fin
Low luster and worse finish settings
Eran tiempos duros y había que buscarse el pan
They were hard times and you had to look for bread
Reinaban la picaresca, la espada y el voto a tal
The picaresque reigned, the sword and the vote to such
Brilla el acero en su mano
The steel shines in his hand
Perla su cara el sudor
Pearl the face of him sweat
Donde el mar no tiene dueño irá
Where the sea has no owner will go
Irá a buscar
will go looking
A su espalda, una sombra y a pie
Behind him, a shadow and on foot
Le seguía sin perder

Ningún detalle, parecía aprender

Su mirada reflejaba calma y paz

Su voz grave y familiar

Relataba leyendas de la antigüedad

Algo misterioso le envolvía, no dormía jamás

Cuentan que se alimentaba del relato popular

Brilla la Cruz de Santiago

En su pecho por el sol
On his chest by the sun
Su rostro jamás descubrió

Su nombre ocultó

En el tejado del tiempo

En el desván de los sueños se ahoga una voz

'No creas en todo lo que veas, solo haz caso a tu intuición'
'Don't believe everything you see, just listen to your intuition'
Y si albergas la duda
And if you harbor the doubt
Nunca, nunca hallarás consuelo en tu interior

Lanza bien los dados porque el juego del camino ha comenzado

Agudiza tu ingenio

Sírvete de mancias, sírvete del tarot

Lee en el alma del bosque y adivina dónde la muerte se escondió
Read in the soul of the forest and guess where death hid
Brilla el acero en su mano
