Un Puño De Tierra Lyrics in English Pablo Montero
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Un Puño De Tierra by Pablo Montero from Spanish to English.
Cantando voy por la vida
Singing I go through life
Nomas recoriendo el mundo
Just traveling the world
Si quieren que se los diga
If you want me to tell you
Yo soy un alma sin dueno
I am a soul without an owner
A mi no me importa nada
I don't care about anything
Pa' mi la vida es un sueno
For me, life's a dream
Yo tomo cuando you quiero
I drink when I want
No miento soy muy sincero
I don't lie, I'm very honest
Y soy como las gaviotas
And I'm like the seagulls
Volando de puerto en puerto
Flying from port to port
Yo se que la vida es corta
I know that life is short
Al fin que tambien la debo
After all, I'll have to pay it back
El dia que yo me muera
The day that I die
No voy a llevarme nada
I'm not gonna take anything
Hay darle gusto al gusto
You gotta indulge yourself
La vida pronto se acaba
Life soon ends
Lo que paso en este mundo
What happened in this world
Nomas los recuerdos quedan
Only memories remain
Ya muerto voy a llevarme
Once dead I'm gonna take
Nomas un puño de tierra
Just a handful of dirt
El dia que yo me muera
The day that I die
No voy a llevarme nada
I'm not gonna take anything
Hay que darle gusto al gusto
You gotta indulge yourself
La vida pronto se acaba
Life soon ends
Lo que paso en este mundo
What happened in this world
Nomas el recuerdo queda
Only the memory remains
Ya muerto voy a llevarme
Once dead I'm gonna take
Nomas un puño de tierra
Just a handful of dirt

gaviotas — seagulls
Gaviotas translates to "seagulls". It's an interesting word choice because it evokes a strong visual image and a sense of freedom and transience.
In the song, the singer compares himself to seagulls, saying, "Y soy como las gaviotas, volando de puerto en puerto" (And I am like the seagulls, flying from port to port). This metaphor beautifully captures his nomadic, free-spirited lifestyle, moving from place to place without attachment, much like a seagull travels the coast.
