Andar Por Andar Andando
Alberto Cortez
Walking Just to Walk
I prefer more than arriving,
to think that I'm already arriving.
Walking just to walk;
walking just to walk.
Getting to know little by little
the sanest and the craziest
and the one who feels like flying.
Flying with thoughts,
that upon hearing the wind sing,
learns to sing from the wind.
I prefer more than arriving,
to think that I'm already arriving.
Walking just to walk;
walking just to walk.
Going in search of the rose
most coveted and beautiful
that I can imagine.
If I don't find it right away,
I have my whole life
to be able to search for it.
I prefer more than arriving,
to think that I'm already arriving.
Walking just to walk;
walking just to walk.
Avoiding mirages
and looking at what I myself
am capable of seeing.
With a lively spirit,
the desert is not confused
with the sands of the sea.
I prefer more than arriving,
to think that I'm already arriving.
Walking just to walk;
walking just to walk.
Without anchor, rudder, or oar,
from one end to the other end
of the world to wander.
Not like the old mill,
that travels its path
always in the same place.
