El Pobre Juan

Poor Juan

El Pobre Juan

With a pensive faceDe cara pensativa
But challenging the cold lifePero retando a la fría vida
He goes very earlyVa muy temprano
To fight for the day's bread.Para luchar por el pan del día.

He looks with indifferenceVe con indiferencia
At the recklessness of many peopleLas imprudencias de mucha gente
But in his mind he keepsPero en su mente tiene presente
Only his family in mind.Solo a su familia.

Oh poor JuanA que pobre juan
Where will his crazy dreams goSus sueños locos a donde irán
In which bar will they stayEn que cantina se quedaran
Thrown with his tired body.Tirados con su cansado cuerpo.

Poor JuanEl pobre juan
He wants to please everyoneCon todos quiere quedar muy bien
Does a favor without looking at whoHace un favor sin mirar a quien
Even though his spirit is almost dead.Aunque su espíritu esta casi muerto.

Upon returning homeAl regresar a casa
It happens again, as it always doesVuelve a pasar lo que siempre pasa
Hastily he looks for that smileDe prisa busca aquella sonrisa
That is already waiting for him.Que ya lo espera.

He falls tired againVuelve a caer cansado
Thanks God that he has arrived safelyAgradece a dios que bien ha llegado
Only the night knows the dreamsSolo la noche sabe los sueños
Of that anyoneDe ese cualquiera

Oh poor JuanA que pobre juan
Where will his crazy dreams go..Sus sueños locos a donde irán..
