  Fer-se a la mar
  i no mirar enrere.
  Agafar el tren sense diners
  ni bitllet de tornada.
  Travessar una frontera.
  O senzillament
  posar un peu davant de l'altre.

  Get to the sea
  and don't look back.
  Take the train without money
  and no return ticket.
  Crossing a border.
  Or simply
  put one foot in front of the other.
