Milonga Del Caminante

Traveler's Milonga

Milonga Del Caminante

(When the road stretches long(Cuando el camino se alarga
How nice it is to reminisce)Que lindo es ir recordando)
(That there's no better companion(Que no hay mejor compañero
Than the memories we walk with)Que el recuerdo caminando)

(The path we left behind(Camino que atrás dejamos
Keeps following, following)Nos va seguiendo, seguiendo)
(And every new road(Y cada nuevo camino
Is filled with memories)Tiene mucho de recuerdo)

(I found a tree that offers(Bien hallé a árbol que tiende
The shade that I need)La sombra que necesito)
(To rest my shadow(Para descansar mi sombra
By the side of the road)Al costado del camino)

(How nice it is to feel at home(Que lindo es tener querencia
I arrive and wish to stay)Llego y quisiera quedarme)
(It's the weight of my absence(Es caracu de mi ausencia
The longing to settle down)El ansia de aquerenciarme)

(To roll like a traveling wheel(Rodar de rueda viajera
To roll like a smooth stone)Rodar de canto rodado)
(To roll with my wandering soul(Rodar de mi alma andariega
That never asks how long)Que no pregunta hasta cuándo)
