Story behind the song
The composition is in Spanish. An english translation follows:
Lyrics
An arrow flying past, A shaft shot it the dark Without a thought of where Its trembling point will strike; A dry leaf from the tree Tossed by the autumn gales, And no one knows what furrow Will catch it when it falls; A giant wave that the wind whips and drives through the sea, that rolls on without knowing which is the shore it seeks; Lamp that, as it expires, Casts trembling rings of light And knows not which will prove Its shining out. All these am I who wander Across the world, nor see Whence I have come or whither my steps will carry me.
