Vagamundo [English translation]

I have already said farewell to so much land, to so many people!

Never has my heart felt such sorrow,

nor been so troubled, because it knows that time will pass by

And you will forget our destiny!

I have grown somberer and somberer every time I have left!

Tired!

Those are black clouds in the blue sky,

Those are shipwrecking waves on blue waters!

I can't spot a shelter in my desert

Without receiving love in this world!

But were I to come back, and as I foresee you all will have already forgotten me,

I would trade my embittered heart in for another one!

I will try to no longer build castles in the air

And never again will I live a different destiny.
