Duende

Elf

Duende

He never asked to be bornNacer nunca pidio
And when he asked, no one gave himY al pedir nadie le dio
His body is the bones that the earth ateSu cuerpo son los huesos que la tierra se comio
Hunger and painEl hambre y el dolor
He already has enoughA el le sobran ya
His mind is like a balloon flying and flying non-stopSu mente es como un globo vuela y vuela sin parar
He's like an elfEs como un duende

He's a child without childhood and without cakeEs niño sin infancia y sin pastel

He seems like fantasy but he's a real childParece fantasia pero es niño de verdad
He's a child with gray skinEs niño de piel gris
With no one, no homeSin nadie sin hogar
Sleeping on the sidewalks, waking up without dreamingDurmiendo en las aceras despertando sin soñar
And he's centuries old and everything remains the sameY tiene siglos ya y todo sigue igual
As he's a poor child, his sadness is very normalComo es un niño pobre su tristesa es muy normal

He lives among garbage, doesn't seem realVive entre basura no parece de verdad
He has nowhere to beNo tiene en donde estar
But he has somewhere to goPero si a donde ir
His only fortune is his paper dreamsSu unica fortuna son sus sueños de papel
He asks the sun todayLe pide hoy al sol
For the day to comeQue el dia venga ya
He's a man, not an elf, asking for just one worldEs hombre y no un duende pide un mundo nada mas
Just one worldTan solo un mundo
Just one worldUn solo mundo
Leave him the third one, just oneDejale el tercero nada mas
Just one worldUn solo mundo
Just one worldTan solo un mundo
They have them divided but the world keeps spinningLos tienen divididos pero el mundo gira igual
He's a child like any otherEs un niño como otro cualquiera
Just without a nice schoolSolo que sin una linda escuela
Give him a book and he'll touch a starDale un libro y tocara una estrella
He'll growCrecera
