Camina siempre adelante [English translation]

When I told my father

That I was going to fly away

I already had my wings

And I left home.

He became serious and said to me,

I did the same thing,

I left my house,

when I was your age.

As soon as life calls,

the children always go.

They are waiting for the road,

and they do not like to wait.

Always walk ahead,

While pulling the reins,

But never offend anyone,

so that no one will offend you.

Always walk ahead,

And mark your path.

The better the wheat you plant,

the better will be the milling

You must not rely on the stone,

that you may run into.

Leave it aside,

For those who come after.

When you don't have a friend,

or a dog you can talk to.

Look inside yourself and with you,

you will be able to converse.

Always walk ahead,

Thinking that there is a tomorrow.

Don't allow yourself to lose,

Because it is a good bed.

Always walk ahead,

Don't be shattered by anything,

And extend an open hand,

For those who want to listen.

When I told my father,

that I was going to fly.

My eyes clouded from tears,

and I walked away from home.
