La Basurita

The Little Trash

La Basurita

I am the foam of the seaSoy del mar espuma
I am a sad lamentSoy triste lamento
I, am the little trashYo, soy basurita
I am the little trash, carried by the windSoy basurita, que arrastra el viento

When I came into the world, I was born cryingCuando vine al mundo, yo nací llorando
Oh God, since thenY ay Dios, desde entonces
I keep cryingSigo llorando
I keep cryingSigo llorando

I am like the bird that fliesSoy como el ave que va volando
That fliesQue va volando
Through a desertPor un desierto
Through a desertPor un desierto

Seeking the east, I found the sunsetBuscando oriente encontré el ocaso
I found the sunsetEncontré el ocaso

Seeking happinessBuscando dicha
Seeking happinessBuscando dicha
I found painEncontré el dolor

And I am the little trashY soy basurita

I have never had anyone to pity meYo nunca he tenido quien de mí se apiade
I am a little featherSoy una plumita
I am the little trash carried by the airSoy basurita que lleva el aire
Oh, how much bitterness I feel when I rememberAy, cuanta amargura siento al acordarme
When I was a child, there wasn't even water to baptize meCuando yo era niña faltó hasta el agua pa' bautizarme

I am like the bird that fliesSoy como el ave que va volando
That fliesQue va volando
Through a desertPor un desierto
Through a desertPor un desierto

Seeking the east, I found the sunsetBuscando oriente encontré el ocaso
I found the sunsetEncontré el ocaso

Seeking happinessBuscando dicha
Seeking happinessBuscando dicha
I found painEncontré el dolor
