Paroles et traduction Nacho Vegas - El Camino

El Camino

Me levanto y echo a andar
Sin lavarme la cara
Tal vez complete un trecho
En la Gran Espiral
Con las cosas que he ganado
Y las que he perdido
Mi ceguera y mi bastón
En el camino

Me encontré al predicador
Seduciendo a un peregrino
Me ofreció su mal amor
Y un buen trato y yo grité
"Todos mis pecados
Viajarán conmigo
Ayudándome a acertar
El camino"

Me miró y se aclaró la voz
"Tienes que escoger", me dijo
Advertí un bulto en su labio inferior
Y otro en su pantalón
Y yo escogí la enfermedad
Y escogí el frío
Pero no equivocaré
No equivocaré el camino

Y corrí a la casa del doctor
Y en su puerta estaba escrito
"Ve sangrando que yo llegaré
Antes de que caiga el sol"
Y esperé al anochecer
Pero él nunca vino
Y ahora es más difícil soportar
El camino

Y llegué temblando hasta el lugar
Donde un viejo da cobijo
Le dejaba masturbarse a la vez
Y él me daba de comer
Pero su pan estaba podrido
Y tan agrio era su vino
Que ahora el asco me es tan familiar
Como el camino

"¿Adónde te crees que vas
Y de dónde crees que vienes?"
Preguntaba el viejo al verme marchar
Muerto de hambre y sed
"Si no tienes rumbo
Chico, estás perdido"
Yo le respondí "voy hacia el sol
Y vengo del camino"

"No hay nada nuevo bajo el sol
No pretendas más que recordar"
En mi espalda sentía su voz
Cuando volví a caminar
Dime, si la novedad
No era más que un olvido
Dime qué más tengo que temer
El resto del camino

Y tú quieres que me aparte de él
Dices que hay un sendero
Que es la luna con su palidez
La que no me deja ver
Pero miré hacia los lados
Y nada era mío
No hay desvíos, no hay vuelta atrás
Sólo está el camino

Ahora debo descansar
Este suelo es mi lecho
Y mi techo es el cielo gris
Que aún pretende oscurecer
Y no me quieras despertar
Si me ves dormido
Sabe el alba que si quiere yo
La espero en el camino

Y todos mis pecados
Viajarán conmigo
Hasta el más puro final
Del camino

The Way

I get up and start to walk
Without washing my face
Maybe I will complete a stretch
On the Great Spiral
With the things I have gained
And the things I've lost
My blindness and my cane
On the path

I came across the preacher
Seducing a pilgrim
He offered me his bad love
And a good deal and I shouted
"All my sins
Will travel with me
Helping me to get it right
The way"

He looked at me and cleared his throat
"You have to choose," he said
I noticed a lump on his lower lip
And another on his pants
And I chose the disease
And I chose the cold
But I will not mistake
I will not mistake the way

And I ran to the doctor's house
And on his doorstep was written
"Go bleeding and I will arrive
Before the sun goes down"
And I waited until nightfall
But he never came
And now it is harder to bear
The way

And I arrived trembling to the place
Where an old man gives shelter
I would let him masturbate at the same time
And he would feed me
But his bread was rotten
And his wine was so sour
That now disgust is as familiar to me
As the way

"Where do you think you're going
And where do you think you came from?"
The old man asked as he watched me leave
Starving and thirsty
"If you have no direction
Boy, you are lost"
I answered him "I am going to the sun
And I come from the way"

"There is nothing new under the sun
Don't pretend to be anything more than to remember"
I could feel his voice on my back
As I walked again
Tell me, if the news
Was nothing more than a forgotten
Tell me what else I have to fear
The rest of the way

And you want me to leave him
You say there is a path
That is the moon with its paleness
That does not let me see
But I looked to the sides
And nothing was mine
There are no detours, no turning back
There is only the way

Now I must rest
This ground is my bed
And my roof is the gray sky
That still tries to darken
And do not wake me
If you see me sleeping
Dawn knows that if she wants me
I will wait for her on the way

And all my sins
Will travel with me
Until the purest end
Of the way
