Caminate

Caminante son tus huellas
El camino nada más;
caminante no hay camino
se hace camino al andar.
Al andar se hace camino
y al volver la vista atrás
se ve la senda que nunca
se ha de volver a pisar.
Caminante, no hay camino
sino estelas sobre el mar.

Traveler

Versions: #1#2

Traveler, your footprints are
the road, and nothing more.
Traveler, there is no road,
you make the road as you go.
You make the road by walking,
and when you turn to look behind,
you see the path that never
is to be trod again.
Traveler, there is no road
but the wake left in the sea.

Author's comment:

There are many possible ways to translate Machado's famous poem, but I think that this way flows well in English and sounds poetic, thereby capturing the essence of the poem and conveying the meaning in a way that will appeal to a native English speaker.
