I know that most translations arent literal, but can you help me understand
this translation?

> Hitori hitori ga chiisana yume wo  
>  Daite kyou mo samayoi aruku

it's subtitled in spanish as

"keep going for those small dreams, which one by one appear every day"

chiisana yume is "small dream" and the rest it doesnt make any sense to me

hitori I understand it is "one person"

daite "to hug or something more personal " is it another definition in this
phrase?

kyou = today, fun, bad luck, etc. I dont know which one could be here.

samayoi = to wonder, to loiter . No idea which meaning has in the phrase

aruku = to walk

How all that translates to the former?

question
translation
how does "Hitori hitori ga chiisana yume wo Daite kyou mo samayoi aruku " translates into this?
First, _hitori hitori_
([[一人一人]{ひとりひとり}](http://jisho.org/search/%E3%81%B2%E3%81%A8%E3%82%8A%E3%81%B2%E3%81%A8%E3%82%8A))
is "each individual person".

Next, _daite_ is the te-form of _daku_ ([抱]{だ}く). Yes, its basic meaning is
"to hug" but here its meaning is "to hold" or "to have".

_kyou_ ([今日]{きょう}) is simply "today". so _kyou mo_ means "today, too," which
strongly implies the nuance of "as usual" and "without any change" here.

_samayoi_ is the masu-stem of _samayou_ ([彷徨]{さまよ}う) "to wander". So it
connects adverbially to _aruku_ ("to walk") here. So _samayoi aruku_ is
something like "walk while wandering" or "wander on foot". Note that the
nuance of _samayou_ is not going for a walk as a daily routine; it is more
like to lose a goal and wander aimlessly.

* * *

So, the whole sentence literally translates as follows:

> Each person wanders on foot without an aim as usual today, holding a small
> dream.

* * *

One can say this in whatever ways they want, but I don't think "keep going for
those small dreams, which one by one appear every day" is so good a
translation. Small dreams do not appear every day.
