These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Todo pasa y todo queda
Everything passes and everything stays
Pero lo nuestro es pasar
But ours is to pass
Pasar haciendo caminos
Passing by making roads
Caminos sobre la mar
Paths over the sea
Nunca perseguí la gloria
I never chased glory
Ni dejar en la memoria
Nor leave in memory
De los hombres mi canción
Of men my song
Yo amo los mundos sutiles
I love the subtle worlds
Ingrávidos y gentiles
Weightless and gentle
Como pompas de jabón
Like soap bubbles
Me gusta verlos pintarse
I like to see them painted
De sol y grana, volar
Of sun and scarlet, fly
Bajo el cielo azul, temblar
Under the blue sky, tremble
Súbitamente y quebrarse
Suddenly and break
Nunca perseguí la gloria
I never chased glory
Caminante, son tus huellas
Walker, they are your footprints
El camino y nada más
The road and nothing else
Caminante, no hay camino
Walker, there is no way
Se hace camino al andar
The way is made by walking
Al andar se hace camino
Walking makes the way
Y al volver la vista atrás
And looking back
Se ve la senda que nunca
You see the path that never before
Se ha de volver a pisar
It has to be stepped on again
Caminante no hay camino
Walker there is no way
Sino estelas en la mar
But contrails in the sea
Hace algún tiempo en ese lugar
Some time ago in that place
Donde hoy los bosques se visten de espinos
Where today the forests are dressed in thorns
Se oyó la voz de un poeta gritar
A poet's voice was heard shouting
«caminante no hay camino
"Walker there is no way
Se hace camino al andar»
The way is made by walking"
Golpe a golpe, verso a verso
Blow by blow, verse by verse
Murió el poeta lejos del hogar
The poet died far from home
Le cubre el polvo de un país vecino
You are covered by the dust of a neighboring country
Al alejarse le vieron llorar
As they walked away, they saw him cry.
«caminante no hay camino
"Walker there is no way
Se hace camino al andar»
The way is made by walking"
Golpe a golpe, verso a verso
Blow by blow, verse by verse
Cuando el jilguero no puede cantar
When the Goldfinch Can't Sing
Cuando el poeta es un peregrino
When the poet is a pilgrim
Cuando de nada nos sirve rezar
When it is useless to pray
«caminante no hay camino
"Walker there is no way
Se hace camino al andar»
The way is made by walking"
Golpe a golpe, verso a verso
Blow by blow, verse by verse
