El Montañés

The Mountaineer

El Montañés

At dawn, winter's fading awayDe punta el alba, se va el invierno
The journey's about to startLa travesía va a comenzar
His strong steps echoing loudSus fuertes pasos van resonando
To conquer the mountain's heartLa montaña a conquistar

I wanted to take it onYo quería conquistarla
For the glory of my flagPara la gloria de mi Bandera
These were the dreams I held on toEran los sueños que yo tenía
To leave one day and never come backPartir un día y no volver

The mountain was waiting for meLa montaña me esperaba
And it was all I ever wantedY era todo lo que quería
Forgive me, those who love meQue me perdonen los que me aman
But I couldn't find my way backPero no pude regresar

Don't wait for me, don't wait for meNo me esperen, no me esperen
For the mountain's already embraced mePues la montaña ya me cobija
And the stars are guiding meY las estrellas me van guiando
On the path of the MountaineerPor la senda del Montañés
