Lyrics
Si pensara alguna vez en lo que fui no tendría ni la fuerza de vivir... Pero yo sé que hay que olvidar y olvido sin protestar. En la obscura caravana de dolor de los hombres que perdieron el hogar, sin blasfemar, sin un rencor, voy solo con mi canción. Nadie pregunta lo que he sido en el pasado, si fui rico, si fui honrado, si hubo sedas en mi cuna. A nadie importa quién soy yo, de donde vengo, y si alguno se me acerca me pregunta cuánto tengo... Miran los trapos que delatan mi pobreza de hoy y en esos trapos lee la gente cuánto valgo y quién soy... Pero no importa, para mí que lo he vivido, yo sé todo lo que he sido, lo que nunca más seré... Es por eso que mi boca no dirá el secreto de un pasado que perdí... Fui gran señor, creo en un Dios que a veces me niega el pan... Y en la obscura caravana de dolor de los hombres que perdieron el hogar, sin blasfemar, sin un rencor, voy solo con mi canción.
English translation
If I ever thought about what I was I wouldn't even have the strength to live... But I know that it is necessary to forget and I forget without protest. In the dark caravan of pain Of men who lost their homes, without blaspheming, without a grudge, I go alone with my song. No one asks what I have been in the past, if I was rich, if I was honest, if there were silks in my cradle. No one cares who I am, where I come from, and if anyone comes up to me asks me how much I have... They look at the rags that betray my poverty today and in those rags people read how much I am worth and who I am... But it doesn't matter, for me that I have lived it, I know all that I have been, what I will never be again... That's why my mouth won't tell the secret of a past I lost... I was a great lord, I believe in a God who sometimes denies me bread... And in the dark caravan of sorrow of men who lost their homes, without blaspheming, without a grudge, I go alone with my song.
