I Pity the Poor Immigrant

Lamento al pobre inmigrante que desearía haberse quedado en casaI pity the poor immigrant who wishes he would have stayed home
que usa todo su poder para hacer el mal pero al final siempre queda tan solowho uses all his power to do evil but in the end is always left so alone
ese hombre que con sus dedos engaña y que miente con cada alientothat man whom with his fingers cheats and whom lies with every breath
que odia apasionadamente su vida y también teme a su muertewho passionately hates his life and likewise fears his death

Lamento al pobre inmigrante cuya fuerza se gasta en vanoI pity the poor immigrant whose strength is spent in vain
cuyo cielo es como acero cuyas lágrimas son como lluviawhose heaven is like ironsides whose tears are like rain
que come pero no queda satisfecho que escucha pero no veWho eats but is not satisfied who hears but does not see
que se enamora de la riqueza misma y me da la espaldawho falls in love with wealth itself and turns his back on me

Lamento al pobre inmigrante que pisa a través del barroI pity the poor immigrant who tramples through the mud
que llena su boca de risas y su pueblo de sangrewho fills his mouth with laughing and who fills his town with blood
cuyas visiones al final deben romperse como el vidriowhose visions in the final end must shatter like the glass
Lamento al pobre inmigrante cuando su alegría llega a su finI pity the poor immigrant when his gladness comes to pass
