Camino de Santiago

Today I am making my way
To feed my soul
My body is already fed
With what they bring me

The stones give me solace
The green gives me peace
Trees that connect me
With lights from beyond

My sandals have worn out
And my feet are blistered
But I keep walking
Until I reach the altar

Through the Roman roads
Flowers grow early
And over rushing rivers
There are majestic bridges

Santiago de Compostela
Is an enchanted place
They say that's how they called you
Hopeful Christians

Saint I make you Santiago
With your horse and your sword
You faced the enemy
And won the battles

And life took a turn for you
Changing your destiny
Filling your heart
With these green paths

Goodbye Finisterre goodbye
Goodbye crosses of the way
I sing through the world
Towards my new destination

My soul and legs hurt
My back is broken
And now I live in hope
And in shared life

History as it is
Gives us sorrow gives us glory
As they tell the battles
As they tell the victories

The air smells of incense
Of octopus and also wine
It has been worth it
To reach this destination

With the staff and the shell
Dressed as a pilgrim
And today I walk in freedom
Leaving my footprints on the way
