Canción de Caminantes
María Elena Walsh
Song of Walkers
Because the road is arid and discouraging.
Because we are afraid to grope around.
Because waiting alone achieves little.
Fears are worth more than hope.
Give me your hand and let's go,
give me your hand and let's go.
If I lost my life out of delicacy,
I want to win yours out of determination.
Because silence is cruel, the journey dangerous.
I give you my song, you give me courage.
Give me your hand and let's go,
give me your hand and let's go.
Let's encourage each other with every step.
Encouraging each other, sharing thirst and the cup.
Encouraging each other, even though we have aged.
Pain always seems freshly born.
Give me your hand and let's go,
give me your hand and let's go.
Because life is short, death abundant.
Because there is no war, but the struggle continues.
Those who dominate always kept us apart.
But today we know that ends.
Give me your hand and let's go,
give me your hand and let's go.
