- Caminante, no hay camino / Se hace camino al andar. = Walker, there is no path. The path is made by walking.
Wanderer, your footsteps are
the road, and nothing more;
wanderer, there is no road,
the road is made by walking.
By walking one makes the road,
and upon glancing behind
one sees the path
that never will be trod again.
Wanderer, there is no road--
Only wakes upon the sea.
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.
Alternative translation (see Talk):
Walker, they are your footsteps
Of the trail, and nothing more;
Walker, there is no pathway made,
the pathway is made while walking.
While walking the pathway becomes,
And upon glancing back behind
one sees the way that will
never again be walked
Walker, there is no pathway--
Only wakes over the sea.
