Bulerías
Traditional*
No olvides nunca
que lo que vale
siempre se busca
Never forget
that you must search
for things that matter
Another translation I came up with for this letra was:
Never forget,
To find what matters
one must search
Or
Never forget
One must search
for what matters
Which do you think works best?
*This letra is Argentina’s song, La Viajera, one of my favorite albums. The CD jacket lists the letra as a traditional verse adapted by Argentina.
You can listen to that original recording here. (It’s the coletilla that she uses to end the song.)
