Lyrics
¡Aquí están!... Botines viejos
de mis líricas andanzas,
buscadores de esperanzas
que la vida nos truncó.

Por la calle de mis penas
tristemente caminaron
hasta que se destrozaron
desde la suela al talón.

Con dolor los miro,
fieles compañeros
que tras ella fueron
y consumieron de tanto andar.

Y una voz que viene
desde su abandono,
dice a mis oídos:
'Lo que has perdido
no encontrarás'.

Hoy, desengañao y triste,
me imagino que la vida
es la suela consumida
en inútil caminar...

Y por eso me arrincono
viendo mi ilusión tan lejos,
como los botines viejos
que ya nunca se han de usar.
English translation
Here they are!... Old boots
of my lyrical wanderings,
seekers of hopes
that life cut short.

Along the street of my sorrows
sadly they walked
until they were shattered
from sole to heel.

With pain I look at them,
faithful companions
who went after her
and consumed by so much walking.

And a voice that comes
from her abandonment
says to my ears:
'What you have lost
you will not find.

Today, disenchanted and sad,
I imagine that life
is the sole consumed
in useless walking...

And that's why I corner myself
seeing my illusion so far away,
like old boots
that will never be used again.
