Jonas was nothing but a young man
who spent his time finding out,
as he had always been
they didn't pay much attention to him
and knowing little about the world
little like the one who It is not wise
little and so little that one day
I decided I was going to do something.
I'm saying goodbye then
I'm going to the mountains, he said
by my return I will have
long beards
whoever heard him said to himself
Jonas has always been a fool
and by my faith his departure
is better than his return.
He didn't care if they laughed
when he left
he already knew the laughter
of those who cannot understand.
And he went along the roads
à gil wandering and alone
he was making spirited leaps
and singing happy tones
in search of the wise old man
who answered everything
in 100-year-old rags
and a bell in his hat.
Many things happened to him
because many things happen
over the years
that he lives in the mountains
br/>he did not find anyone wiser
than the heart he carried
that answered him smiling
to everything he asked.
And one fine day they saw him
returning from somewhere.
Do not stop walking
review the world with your foot
men will walk
and they will understand later.
He returned and it was not a holiday
the people looked silent
because his beard and laughter
covered his entire face,
he had a bell on his cap
br/>faded and patched
and some filthy rags
and a forward shadow.
Let them hang me from an oak
if I don't see the faces (he said)
of those who asked
a long time ago and are still scratching,
whoever heard him said to himself so
This one hasn't changed
the bad thing about him being gone
is that he has come back.
He stayed for some time
talking and organizing
feasts and outrages
for the town and the villains
but he reached such a point of his revelry
and partying wildly
a council was held
and without further ado one day they threw him out.
And he went away with the leaves
hanging from the branches
at regular intervals < br/>like footsteps leaving,
the last time they saw him
he was not alone, he was leading
a group of scoundrels
that was heading to the mountains.
Do not stop walking, review the world
with your foot men will walk and
perhaps they will understand. but
men will remember
and they will forget later.
