PILGRIM, WHO IS CALLING YOU? (POEM FROM THE CAMINO DE SANTIAGO)
A poem by Eugenio Garibay Baños, written on a wall along the Camino between Navarrete and Najera. Translation by Google & Camino de Santiago Forum member Vigdis.
I
Dust, mud, sun and rain
Camino de Santiago is
Thousands of pilgrims
and more than a thousand years
Pilgrim who is calling you?
What hidden force attracts you?
Neither the Field of Stars
or the great cathedrals
It is not the bravery of Navarre
or the wine of La Rioja,
neither Galician seafood nor
the Castillian countryside
II
Pilgrim, who calls you?
What hidden force attracts you?
Neither the people of the Way
Nor their rural customs.
Not the history and culture
or the Rooster’s Causeway
or the Palace of Gaudi
or Castillo Ponferrada
III
It is a joy to see everything in passing
but the voice that calls me
I feel much more deeply.
The force that pushes me
force that attracts me,
I cannot explain,
Only the One above knows!
