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.
