Todo pasa y todo queda
Pero lo nuestro es pasar
Pasar haciendo caminos
Caminos sobre la mar
Nunca perseguir la gloria
Ni dejar en la memoria
De los hombres, mi canción
Yo amo los mundos sutiles
Ingrávidos y gentiles
Como pompas de jabón
Me gusta verlos pintarse
De Sol y grana, volar
Bajo el cielo azul, temblar
Súbitamente y quebrarse
Nunca perseguir la gloria
Caminante
Son tus huellas el camino y nada más
Caminante, no hay camino
Se hace camino al andar
Al andar, se hace camino
Y al volver la vista atrás
Se ve la senda que nunca
Se ha de volver a pisar
Caminante, no hay camino
Sino estelas en la mar
Hace algún tiempo, en ese lugar
Donde hoy los bosques se visten de espinos
Se oyó la voz de un poeta gritar
Caminante, no hay camino
Se hace camino al andar
Golpe a golpe, verso a verso
Murió el poeta, lejos del hogar
Le cubre el polvo de un país vecino
Al alejarse, le vieron llorar
Caminante, no hay camino
Se hace camino al andar
Golpe a golpe, verso a verso
Cuando el jilguero no puede cantar
Cuando el poeta es un peregrino
Cuando de nada nos sirve rezar
Caminante, no hay camino
Se hace camino al andar
Golpe a golpe, verso a verso
Golpe a golpe, verso a verso
Golpe a golpe, verso a verso
