Lyrics

Español

Vagar... Con el cansancio de mi eterno andar, Tristeza amarga de la soledad Ansias enormes de llegar. Sabrás... Que por la vida fui buscándote, Que mis ensueños sin querer vencí Que en algún cruce los dejé. Mi andar apresuré Con la esperanza de encontrarte a ti, Largos caminos hilvané Leguas y leguas recorrí por ti. Después que entre tus brazos Pueda descansar, Si lo prefieres volveré a marchar Por mi camino de ayer.

English · machine translation

Wandering... With the weariness of my eternal wandering, Bitter sadness of loneliness Enormous longing to arrive. You will know... That through life I went looking for you, That my reveries I unwillingly overcame That at some crossroads I left them. I hurried my way In the hope of finding you, Long roads I spun Leagues and leagues I traveled for you. After I can rest in your arms I can rest, If you prefer, I'll march again On my way of yesterday.
