Ahi Va La Pobreza

There Goes Poverty

Ahi Va La Pobreza

I've seen in my town, walking its streets,Eh visto en mi pueblo , andar en sus calles ,
And through its sidewalks, a little blond boy with wheat-colored hair, asking for coins, the people who pass by,Y por sus veredas , a un niñito rubio cabeza trigo , pidiendo monedas , la gente qe pasa ,
Happy by his side, haven't realized,Alegre a su lado , no se ha dado cuenta ,
That under those clothes, full of patches,Qe vajo esa ropa , llena de remiendos ,
There goes poverty. Broken shoes,Ahi va la pobreza . zapatillas rotas ,
In its holes, a little frog shows,Qe en sus agujeros , un sapito muestra ,
Its cracked face, from cold mornings,Su cara agrietada , por mañanas frias ,
Of wind and dirt, and the sad eyes,De viento y de tierra , y los ojos trsites ,
Seeing on the street, so much indifference,De ver en la calle , tanta indiferencia ,
While 2 coins, he holds in his hand,Mientras 2 monedas , lleva en su mano ,
There goes poverty.Ahi va la pobreza .

I ask those who walk the world,Pido a los qe van , caminando el mundo ,
And only think about buying weapons,Y qe solo piensan , en comprar las armas ,
That cold iron, symbol of war,Ese hierro frio , simbolo de guerra ,
Look one day, at those sad children,Contemplen un dia , a esos niños tristes ,
From humble homes, and spend the money,De hulmides viviendas , y gaste el dinero ,
Buying weapons, to kill misery,Comprando armas , de matar miceria ,
So we no longer see, the sad blond boy, full of sadness, who has no dreams of carousels,Asi ya no vemos , al niñito rubio lleno de tristeza , qe no tiene sueños ni de calesitas ,
Or going to school, who has never known,Ni de ir a la escuela , qe no ha conosido ,
A toy and some think,Nunca un juguete y qe algunos piensan ,
When they see him pass by on his way home,Al verlo pasar de vuelta a su casa ,
There goes poverty,Ahi va la pobreza ,

Carrying pockets full of marbles,Lleva los bolsillos llenos de balines ,
And small stones, which are ammunition,Y pequeñas piedras , que son municiones ,
To kill sparrows for his slingshot,De matar gorriones para su gomera ,
The number 5 will be promised but neverLa numero 5 seran prometidas pero nunca
Arrive, and the wise men because of his humbleLlegan , y los reyes magos por su humilde
Home do not come near, he doesn't look at theVivienda no pasan ni serca , no mira los
Kiosks because candies no longer interest him,Kioscos por qe golosinas ya no le ,
Buying the stew that 3Interesan , comprar el puchero qe 3
Little siblings at home wait for, but today,Hermanitos en su casa esperan , pero hoy ,
It will be little because people no longer give himSera poco por qe ya la gente no le da
Coins, from head to toe he heads home,Monedas , de cabeza a gachas va rumbo a
There goes poverty.Su casa , ahi va la pobreza .

I ask those who walk the world,Pido a los qe van caminando elmundo ,
And only think about buyingY que solo piensan , en comprar las
Weapons, that cold iron symbol of war,Armas , ese hierro frio simbolo de guerra ,
Look one day, at those sad children,Contemplen un dia , a esos niños trstes ,
From humble homes, and spend the moneyDe humilde viviendas , y gaste el dinero
On buying weapons to kill misery,En comprar las armas de matar miceria ,
So we no longer see the sad blond boy full ofAsi ya no vemos al niñito rubio lleno de
Sadness, who has no dreams of carousels,Tristeza , qe no tiene sueños ni de calesitas ,
Or going to school, who has never known,Ni de ir a la escuela , qe no ha conosido ,
A toy and some think,Jamas un juguete y qe algunos piensan ,
When they see him pass by on his way home,De verlo pasar de vuelta a su casa ,
There goes poverty.Ahi va la pobreza .

Seeing him pass by on his way home,De verlo pasar de vuelta a su casa ,
