Viejo Coplero

Old Troubadour

Viejo Coplero

From the same clothDel mismo palo
Troubadour and singerCoplero y cantor

Remember that to reachRecuerda que para llegar
The highest summitHasta la cumbre más alta
The condor before flyingEl cóndor antes de volar
First tests its wingsPrimero prueba las alas

If there is still a long way to goSi queda mucho por andar
It's better not to rushMejor no vayas corriendo
Always try to walkProcura siempre caminar
At a steady pace, you'll go farAl tranco se llega lejos

Try to make it a realityIntenta hacerlo realidad
The dream that feeds youAl sueño que te alimenta
It's not enough for it to reach the seaNo basta con que llegue al mar
Inside the bottleAdentro de la botella

From the heart, I will give youDe corazón te voy a dar
Thanks, old troubadourLas gracias viejo coplero
Singing, he knew how to giveCantando supo regalar
The verse with his adviceLa copla con su consejo

The river returns to its placeEl río vuelve a su lugar
The swallow to its nestLa golondrina a su nido
Only love doesn't returnSolo el amor no vuelve más
If the illusion is lostSi la ilusión ha perdido

Where the Sun goes to hidePa donde el Sol se va a ocultar
The grass bends its tipsLos pastos doblan las puntas
There is no debt you won't have to payNo hay deuda que no has de pagar
Nor deadline that won't be metNi plazo que no se cumpla

I'm going to talk about wealthDe la riqueza voy a hablar
And listen well to what I sayY escuche bien lo que digo
Fortunate will liveAfortunado vivirá
Who has good friendsQuien tenga buenos amigos
