No era el hombre más honesto pero él...
He wasn't the most honest man but he
era un hombre valiente y fiel

tampoco la piedad se cobijaba en él.
Neither mercy sheltered on him.
Malvivía, alquilando por tres maravedís

ajustes de poco lustre y de peor fin.

Eran tiempos duros y había que buscarse el pan.

Reinaban la picaresca, la espada y el voto a tal.
The picaresque, the sword and the vow to such, were ruling.
Brilla el acero en su mano

perla su cara el sudor

donde el mar no tiene dueño irá...

A su espalda, una sombra a pie

le seguía sin perder ningún detalle

En el tejado del tiempo

en el desván de los sueños

se ahoga una voz:

y si albergas la duda
And if you harbor doubts,
nunca, nunca hallarás consuelo en tu interior.

Lanza bien los dados

porque el juego del camino ha comenzado

Agudiza tu ingenio
Sharpen your wits,
sírvete de mancias
serve yoursef of mancias,
sírvete del tarot

lee en el alma del bosque

y adivina dónde la muerte se escondió"

Brilla el acero en su mano
The still shines over his hand
perla su cara el sudor

donde el mar no tiene dueño irá...
