Caminito caminito
tan parecido a mi pena
cual si lo hubieran escrito
Mis lágrimas en la arena
Mísero pia en los cardos
Un pajarillo invernal
El frio eriza sus dardos
como un cardo de cristal
y el caminito persiste
en la llanura serena
Caminito largo y triste
tan parecido a mi pena

Little path
Language: English  after the Spanish (Español)
Little path, little path
So much like my sorrow,
As if it had been written
By my tears in the sand.
Wretched among the thistles
Chirps a winter bird;
The cold puts its feathers on end
Like a thistle made of glass,
And the little path continues
Along the calm plains,
Little path, long and sad,
So much like my sorrow.
