Con Una Flor En La Mano [English translation]

I knew that nothing is known

And I don't know what it is that I knew,

If flying is to descend

Or if the one who rises falls.

I went way beyond the man,

Almost to the level of a child

But I could not find it,

That is why I come back to you.

But it doesn't matter what I say

If the story is only one.

There's half a world waiting

With a flower in hand,

And the other half of the world

is waiting for that flower.

And for all those things

Is why I come back to you,

Mother who has taught me

That the road is a circle

And only he who goes a long way

Can find his destination;

That is to say, what is nearby

Or the place from where he started.

But it doesn't matter what I say

If the story is only one.

There's half a world waiting

With a flower in hand,

And the other half of the world

is waiting for that flower.
