La Basurita

The Little Trash

La Basurita

I'm the foam of the sea, I'm a sad lamentSoy del mar espuma, soy triste lamento
I'm the little trash, the little trash that the wind dragsYo soy basurita, soy basurita que arrastra el viento

When I came into the world, I was born cryingCuando vine al mundo yo nací llorando
Oh! God, since then I've been living crying, living cryingAy! Dios desde entonces vivo llorando, vivo llorando

I'm like the bird that's flying, that's flyingSoy como el ave que va volando, que va volando
Through a desert, through a desertPor un desierto, por un desierto
Looking for the east, I found the sunset, I found the sunsetBuscando oriente, encontré el ocaso, encontré el ocaso
Looking for happiness, looking for happiness I found the painBuscando dicha, buscando dicha encontré el dolor

I've never had anyone to pity meYo núnca he tenido quién de mi se apiade
When I was a child, there wasn't even water to baptize meCuando yo era niño faltó hasta el agua pa' bautizarme

Oh! How much bitterness I feel when I rememberAy! Cuanta amargura siento al acordarme
I'm the little trash, the little trash carried by the airSoy la basurita, soy basurita que lleva el aire

I'm like the bird that's flying, that's flyingSoy como el ave que va volando, que va volando
Through a desert, through a desertPor un desierto, por un desierto
Looking for the east, I found the sunset, I found the sunsetBuscando oriente, encontré el ocaso, encontré el ocaso
Looking for happiness, looking for happiness I found the painBuscando dicha, buscando dicha encontré el dolor
