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 bordeado de trébol y juncos en flor, una sombra ya pronto serás, una sombra lo mismo que yo. |
Little road that the times have erased, that saw us pass here together one day— I've come back to you one last time, I've come back to recount you my woes. Little road that once was embroidered with clover and flowering reeds, you soon shall be naught but a shadow, a shadow, the same as me. |

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. |
Since she went away, all I've done is cry; little road, my friend, now it's my time to go. Since she went away, she never came back, no... Now I follow her footsteps, fare you well, little road. |

Caminito que todas las tardes feliz recorría cantando mi amor, no le digas si vuelve a pasar que mi llanto tu suelo regó. Caminito cubierto de cardos, la mano del tiempo tu huella borró; yo a tu lado quisiera caer y que el tiempo nos mate a los dos. |
Little road that each afternoon I ran lightsomely, singing of love, never tell her, if she passes again, that your soil was wet with my tears. Little road all covered in thistle, time's hand has erased all your tracks; I want to fall down myself by your side, so we both could be slain by the years. |

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. |
Since she went away, all I've done is cry; little road, my friend, now it's my time to go. Since she went away, she never came back, no... Now I follow her footsteps, fare you well, little road. |
