If I were able to live my life again,
             next time I would try to make more mistakes.

I would not try to be so perfect.  I would be more relaxed.

I would be much more foolish than I have been.  In fact,

I would take very few things seriously.

I would be much less sanitary.

Instantes (Instants)

If I were able to live my life anew,
In the next I would try to commit more errors.
I would not try to be so perfect, I would relax more.
I would be more foolish than I've been,
In fact, I would take few things seriously.
I would be less hygienic.
I would run more risks,
take more vacations,
contemplate more sunsets,
climb more mountains, swim more rivers.
I would go to more places where I've never been,
I would eat more ice cream and fewer beans,
I would have more real problems and less imaginary ones.


I was one of those people that lived sensibly
and prolifically each minute of his life;
Of course I had moments of happiness.
If I could go back I would try
to have only good moments.


Because if you didn't know, of that is life made:
only of moments; Don't lose the now.


I was one of those that never
went anywhere without a thermometer,
a hot-water bottle,
an umbrella, and a parachute;
If I could live again, I would travel lighter.


If I could live again,
I would begin to walk barefoot from the beginning of spring
and I would continue barefoot until autumn ends.
I would take more cart rides,
contemplate more dawns,
and play with more children,
If I had another life ahead of me.


But already you see, I am 85,
and I know that I am dying.

Si pudiera vivir nuevamente mi vida. 
En la próxima trataría de cometer más errores.
No intentaría ser tan perfecto, me relajaría más. 
Sería más tonto de lo que he sido, de hecho 
tomaría muy pocas cosas con seriedad. 
Sería menos higiénico. 
Correría más riesgos, haría más viajes, contemplaría 
más atardeceres, subiría más montañas, nadaría más ríos. 
Iría a más lugares adonde nunca he ido, comería 
más helados y menos habas, tendría más problemas 
reales y menos imaginarios. 
Yo fui una de esas personas que vivió sensata y prolíficamente 
cada minuto de su vida; claro que tuve momentos de alegría. 
Pero si pudiera volver atrás trataría de tener 
solamente buenos momentos. 
Por si no lo saben, de eso está hecha la vida, sólo de momentos; 
no te pierdas el ahora. 
Yo era uno de esos que nunca iban a ninguna parte sin termómetro, 
una bolsa de agua caliente, un paraguas y un paracaídas; 
Si pudiera volver a vivir, viajaría más liviano. 
Si pudiera volver a vivir comenzaría a andar descalzo a principios 
de la primavera y seguiría así hasta concluir el otoño. 
Daría más vueltas en calesita, contemplaría más amaneceres 
y jugaría con más niños, si tuviera otra vez la vida por delante. 
Pero ya tengo 85 años y sé que me estoy muriendo.
