Pa’l que se va [English translation]

Don't forget the field

if you're going to the city

the farther you go

the more you have to remember.

Is true that there are many things

that you might forget

but some are oversights

and some others are just things.

Don't put in the suitcase

what you're not going to use

the roads are longer

for who's loaded in excess.

Now that you're young

and you whistle like any other

don't ever change your path

even if you don't have for a smoke.

And if you feel sad

when you look back

don't forget that the road

is for who comes and for who goes.

Don't forget the field

if you're going to the city

the farther you go

the more you have to remember.

The farther you go

the more you have to remember.
