A Que Le Llaman Distancia
Atahualpa Yupanqui
What Do They Call Distance
(What do they call distance?)
(That they will have to explain to me)
Only far away are the things
That we don't know how to look at
(The paths are paths
On the earth and nothing more.) Repeat
The leagues disappear
If the soul begins to flutter
(Deep feeling, clear direction)
(Heart and clarity)
If the world is inside oneself
Why look outside?
(How mysterious life is)
(Excessively mysterious!)
One is where one wants to be
Many times without thinking
(If the paths are leagues)
(On the earth and nothing more)
What do they call distance?
That they will have to explain to me
