[Sifaka]

A masterpiece of the late 1960s, based on a beautiful book of poetry from Spain published in 1912. Serrat dedicated this record to Antonio Machado. (Proverbios y cantares in Campos de Castilla, 1912

Here is just a bit of what inspired Serrat's music.

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.

Wanderer, your footprints are
 the road and nothing more;


wanderer, there is no road,
 you make the road by walking.


Walking makes the road,
 and when you turn to look behind,

you see the path that you
 will never tread again.


Wanderer, there is no road,
 only foam trails on the sea.
