Song of Walkers

María Elena Walsh

Canción de Caminantes

Porque el camino es árido y desalienta.
Porque tenemos miedo de andar a tientas
Porque esperando a solas poco se alcanza
Valen mas os temores que una esperanza

Dame la mano y vamos ya,
dame la mano y vamos ya.

Si por delicadeza perdí mi vida
Quiero ganar la tuya por decidida.
Porque el silencio es cruel peligroso el viaje
Yo te doy mi canción tu me das coraje.

Dame la mano y vamos ya,
dame la mano y vamos ya.

Animo nos daremos a cada paso
Animo compartiendo la sed y el vaso
Animo que aunque hayamos envejecido
Siempre el dolor parece recién nacido.

Dame la mano y vamos ya,
dame la mano y vamos ya.

Porque la vida es poca la muerte mucha
Porque no hay guerra pero sigue la lucha
Siempre nos separaron los que dominan
Pero sabemos que hoy eso se termina.

Dame la mano y vamos ya,
dame la mano y vamos ya.

Song of Walkers

Because the road is arid and discouraging.
Because we are afraid to grope around.
Because waiting alone achieves little.
Fears are worth more than hope.

Give me your hand and let's go,
give me your hand and let's go.

If I lost my life out of delicacy,
I want to win yours out of determination.
Because silence is cruel, the journey dangerous.
I give you my song, you give me courage.

Give me your hand and let's go,
give me your hand and let's go.

Let's encourage each other with every step.
Encouraging each other, sharing thirst and the cup.
Encouraging each other, even though we have aged.
Pain always seems freshly born.

Give me your hand and let's go,
give me your hand and let's go.

Because life is short, death abundant.
Because there is no war, but the struggle continues.
Those who dominate always kept us apart.
But today we know that ends.

Give me your hand and let's go,
give me your hand and let's go.
