Buenos Aires

One evening Juan de Dios Filiberto and the poet Gerardo Coria Peñaloza went down an abandoned detour that joined Garibaldi street and Vuelta de Rocha, skirted by small lodging made of metal sheets and wood painted in different colours. They felt inspired by the surroundings and thus Caminito song was born travelling around the world successfully since ever.

Caminito que el tiempo ha borrado,

que juntos un día nos viste pasar,

he venido por última vez

he venido a contarte mi mal.

Caminito que entonces estabas

bordado de trébol y juncos en flor,

una sombra ya pronto serás

una sombra lo mismo que yo.

Desde que se fue triste vivo yo,

caminito amigo yo también me voy.

Desde que se fue nunca más volvió,

seguiré sus pasos, caminito, adiós.

………………………………….

Little lane time has blurred…
Once you saw us pass by together,

I have come for the last time;

I have come to tell you my woe.

Little lane, you were then,

embroidered in clovers and flowering reeds,

a shadow you will soon be,

a shadow the same as myself.

Since she left I live in sorrow,

friendly little lane, I'm leaving too.

Since she left she has never come back,

I'll follow her steps, little lane, goodbye.
