Hacia la vida Lyrics Translation – Julia Rodríguez | Miguel Siso
The poet mentions a man leaving home with a sack full of hope, determined to balance the scales of his life. The line, ‘they plan to start their journey, and, once on board, to travel the path toward life,’ reflects the courage it takes to face the unknown. The song uses the sea and the ship’s wheel as metaphors for the challenges and choices that define their journey.
Con un saco de esperanzaWith a sack full of hope,
el hombre tiende a partira man tends to leave his home,
buscando sin desistirsearching without giving up,
equilibrar la balanza.to balance the scales of his life.
Evitando la tardanzaAvoiding any delay,
con la mirada perdidawith a lost and distant gaze,

y embarcados recorrerand, once on board, to travel
el camino hacia la vida.the path toward life.
Y embarcados recorrerAnd, once on board, to travel

El timón es compañeroThe ship’s wheel is their companion,
y con botavara dirigeand the boom steers them,
al mismo mar que se afligeupon the very sea that grieves
ante el destino embustero.before a deceitful destiny.
Con este paso certeroWith this certain step,
