En qualsevol lloc [English translation]

They left from here

a grey morning

in the spring.

They were heading down south

with their youth

across their chest.

With a dream on their back

and the memory of a doll.

The old holm oaks

saw them depart.

Near of far,

in any place,

following other footsteeps.

The road never ends

when it arrives at the forest…

Few have returned to the placid nook.

Perhaps tomorrow I too will go

towards another port.

I will say goodbye to the people,

to the homeland and to the wind

that have seen me grow

and I will close the drawer

of my yesterday

without complaint.

And I will search for a house

there where the sun warms me.

I should leave

far from the evergreen oaks…

Near or far,

in any place,

following other footsteeps.

The road never ends

when it arrives at the forest…

Few have returned to the placid nook.

Perhaps tomorrow I too will go

towards another port.
