Well, Miles from nowhere sure is a great song.....With a few lyric changes I think that is can be easily adapted to the Camino. I will work on that. Thank you for the tip! EdHi Ed,
I have absolutely no knowledge of 'local' songs that are sung on the camino, but when I have walked solo in Spain, at times I sang when I needed a little bit of encouragement, or was feeling particularly happy with my lot, usually out of earshot of other people. While on an extended cycle the other day, this song popped into my head, and it brought me back to the camino. I sang it with gusto while on a flat stretch
Have a listen and see what you think - it could have been written for the camino, or any other of life's journey's.
It's called 'Miles from nowhere', by Cat Stevens, look it up on youtube and see what you think.
Buen camino,
Thank you SY. Yes, I have heard of this song and it is a really good one!!! Not sure how well I will do singing it in something other then the Queens English though. May just let this one for the European experts. Thank you again. UltreïaThere are heaps of different songs sung in the different regions of Spain ;-) As for "pilgrim songs" the French Tout le matin nous prenons le chemin and, more generally, Taize songs are favorites. Buen Camino! SY
Both of those are super!!! Thank you. Ed'Show me the way to go home' and 'It's a long way to Tipperary' have their fans amongst Irish peregrinos.
I plan to start on SJPDP end May 2014 and wondered if there are any special or common songs being sung by artists alone the CF. I play Guitar and though will be not carrying mine with me, thought I may come across a few while in Bars ect. I would like to take a little time now to learn a few of the local songs so if I get a chance to play and sing I will have a head start on the tunes and words. Thank you!!Ed

My good friend,we were 4 walking the Camino in Sept 2012 and we sang South African songs in many places - much enjoyed by everyone - even were given free redwine - we sang a well known song in a restaurant one evening and everyone joint in in their own language - it was beautiful - so just start singing wherever you are and you will experience something - ENJOY - Johann PretoriusI plan to start on SJPDP end May 2014 and wondered if there are any special or common songs being sung by artists alone the CF.

I'm gonna steal this Annie! I will add some nice chords to it. Thx...EdWe teach our little groups this, our own American words to the song "Ultreia:"
We are pilgrims come from afar,
and we walk 'neath the Field of Stars.
Some are fast and some are slow.
We are going to Santiago.
Ultreia! Ultreia!
Ultreia! Ultreia!
Do not ask us the time or the day,
We will tell you we just couldn't say.
There is only one thing that we know;
We are going to Santiago!
Ultreia! Ultreia!
Ultreia! Ultreia!

Try "De Colores!". We met a lady from Arizona who was singing this, at Fromista. She seemed surprised when a couple of Kiwis from New Zealand joined her in the chorus!
Canta el gallo, canta el gallo
Con el quiri, quiri, quiri, quiri, quiri.
La gallina, la gallina
Con el cara, cara, cara, cara, cara.
Los pollitos/polluelos, los pollitos/polluelos
Con el pío, pío, pío, pío, pí.
Y por eso los grandes amores
De muchos colores me gustan a mí.
Y por eso los grandes amores
De muchos colores me gustan a mí!
