En cualquier lugar [English translation]

They went far from here

a grey day

in the spring,

they went down south

with their youth

across their chest.

With their dreams on their shoulder

they crossed the hill,

the old holm oaks

saw them depart.

Anywhere,

in any place,

following other footsteps,

the road doesn't end in the evergreen oaks.

Returned but a few of them,

tomorrow I too will go with them

to search for the sea.

I'm leaving, I bid you farewell

nooks in where I was grown,

I leave you in a drawer

the grey song

of that which I have been.

I'm going towards another land

in which the sun heats.

far from my people

and the evergreen oaks.

Anywhere,

in any place,

following other footsteps,

the road doesn't end in the evergreen oaks.

Returned but a few of them,

tomorrow I too will go with them

to search for the sea.
