Soltar todo y largarse, ¡qué maravilla!
Letting everything go and taking off, what a wonder!
Atesorando solo huesos nutrientes
Treasuring only nutritious bones
Y lanzarse al camino pisando arcilla
And launching down the road, treading on clay
Destino a las estrellas resplandecientes
Destined for the shining stars
Destino a las estrellas resplandecientes
Destined for the shining stars
Pantalones raídos, zapatos viejos
Tattered pants, old shoes
Sombrero de ventisca, ojo de garra
Snowstorm hat, eye of the claw
Escudriñando enigmas en los espejos
Scrutinizing enigmas in the mirrors
Y aprendiendo conciertos de las cigarras
And learning the concerts of the cicadas
Y aprendiendo conciertos de las cigarras
And learning the concerts of the cicadas
Con amores fugaces e inolvidables
With fleeting and unforgettable loves
Con para siempres grávidos como espuma
With eternities heavy as foam
Y el acero afilado de los probables
And the sharp steel of the probable
Colgado, vigilante junto a la luna
Hanging, watchful next to the moon
Colgado, vigilante junto a la luna
Hanging, watchful next to the moon

Ay, ay, ay
Oh, oh, oh
Ay, ay
Oh, oh
Soltar todo y largarse, ¡qué fascinante! (tururu)
Letting go of everything and running away, how fascinating! (tururu)
Volver al santo oficio de la veleta (tururu)
Returning to the sacred craft of the weather vane (tururu)
Desnudando la vida como un bergante (rururu)
Undressing life like a rogue (rururu)
Y soñando que un día serás poeta
And dreaming that one day you'll be a poet
Y soñando que un día serás poeta
And dreaming that one day you'll be a poet
