I first heard this song in a bar walking into Santiago. It was being sung by a French couple who were nice enough to translate it to English for me. We were all celebrating with a bit of wine and between the wine, the song and the excitement of finally reaching Santiago the experience was very special for me. I saw them again in the pilgrims office still singing and also out in front of the cathedral and they were still singing...... I sang along as well as I could trying to say the same French words they were singing. God only knows what I was really singing but it didn't matter it was still wonderful.
