Cantares

Everything passes and everything remainsTodo pasa y todo queda
But ours is to passPero lo nuestro es pasar
To pass by making pathsPasar haciendo caminos
Paths over the seaCaminos sobre la mar
I never pursued gloryNunca persegui la gloria
And to leave in the memoryY dejar en la memoria
Of men my songDe los hombres mi cansion
Let's go, humble worldsVamos los mundos humildes
Ungrateful and gentleIngrabidos y gentiles
Like soap bubblesComo bombas de jabon
I like to see them paint themselvesMe gusta verlos pintarse
With sunlight as they flyDe soligrana al volar
Under the trembling blue skyBajo el cielo azul temblar
Suddenly and breakSubitamente y quebrarse
I never pursued gloryNunca persegui la gloria

Traveler, your footprints areCaminante son tus guellas
On the road and nothing moreEn el camino y nada mas
Traveler, there is no roadCaminante no hay camino
The road is made by walkingSe hace camino hal andar
By walking, the road is made and by looking backHal andar se hace camino y al mover la vista atras
You see the path that will never be stepped on againSe ve la senda que nunca se a devolver a pisar
Traveler, there is no roadCaminante no hay camino
Only wakes in the seaSi no estelas en la mar

So at some time in that placeAsi algun tiempo en ese lugar
Where today the forests dress in clothesDonde hoy los bosques se visten vestidos
The voice of a poet was heard shoutingSe oyo la voz de un poeta gritar
Traveler, there is no roadCaminante no hay camino
The road is made by walkingSe hace camino hal andar
Blow by blowGolpe a golpe
Verse by verseVerso a verso

The poet died far from homeMurio el poeta lejos del hogar
Covered by the dust of a neighboring countryLe cubre el polvo de un pais vecino
As he walked away, they saw him cryAl alejarse le vieron llorar
Traveler, there is no roadCaminante no hay camino
The road is made by walkingSe hace camino hal andar
Blow by blowGolpe a golpe
Verse by verseVerso a verso

When the goldfinch cannot singCuando el jilguero no puede cantar
When the poet is a pilgrimCuando el poeta es un peregrino
When praying is of no useCuando denada nos sirve rezar
Traveler, there is no roadCaminante no hay camino
The road is made by walkingSe hace camino hal andar
Blow by blow, verse by verseGolpe agolpe verso a verso
Blow by blow, verse by verseGolpe a golpe verso a verso
Blow by blow, verse by verseGolpe a golpe verso a verso
