Bulerías
Traditional*

No olvides nunca
que lo que vale
siempre se busca

Never forget
that you must search
for things that matter

Another translation I came up with for this letra was:

Never forget,
To find what matters
one must search

Or

Never forget
One must search
for what matters

Which do you think works best?

*This letra is Argentina’s song, La Viajera, one of my favorite albums. The CD jacket lists the letra as a traditional verse adapted by Argentina.

You can listen to that original recording here. (It’s the coletilla that she uses to end the song.)
