Gitan [English translation]

Gipsy

as a child I dreamt of

living freely like a gipsy

I saw beaches

of black sand

where wild horses ran

And I drew (from the verb 'drawing') in my notebooks

the secret footpaths

of the Spanish mountains

Gipsy

when, later on,

I learned my first guitar chords

on the road, I left without luggage (I think he means he learns guitar on the streets)

dreaming of other landscapes

where I followed the wandering people (lit.: people of the voyages)

in their caravans

at the sound of gipsy violins

(refrain)

Living my life as a gipsy

having music in my blood (lit.: the blood)

and, under my skin, only one woman

at the time for love. (I changed the word-order in these two verses)

Living my life as a gipsy

living my life as I hear it (maybe I should say: as I understand it)

having freedom as a banner

without religion or law [as creed]

Gipsy

(A gipsy) I am and I will stay

as long as I live

My guitars are American

And my landscapes

great white spaces

where I ride (through) in my caravan

in eternal exile

in the jungle of the cities
