Caminante, son tus huellas

el camino, y nada mas;
caminante, no hay camino,
se hace camino al andar.
Al andar se hace camino,
y al volver la vista atras
se ve la senda que nunca
se ha de volver a pisar.
Caminante, no hay camino,
sino estelas en el mar.

- Antonio Machada 

Translation:

Wanderer, your footsteps are 
the road, and nothing more;
wanderer, there is no road,
the road is made by walking. 
By walking one makes the road,
and upon glancing behind 
one sees the path
that never will be trod again.
Wanderer, there is no road -
Only wakes upon the sea.
