Poor Juan

El Pobre Juan

With a thoughtful face, but challenging the cold lifeDe cara pensativa, pero retando a la fría vida
He wakes up early to fight for today’s breadVa muy temprano para luchar por el pan del día
He watches indifferently the recklessness of many peopleVe con indiferencia las imprudencias de mucha gente
But in his mind, he only has his family in sightPero en su mente tiene presente solo a su familia

Ah, poor Juan, where will his crazy dreams go?Ah, qué pobre Juan, ¿sus sueños locos a dónde irán?
In which bar will they stay? Lying down with his tired body¿En qué cantina se quedarán? Tirados con su cansado cuerpo
Poor Juan wants to get along with everyoneEl pobre Juan con todos quiere quedar muy bien
He does a favor without looking at who, even though his spirit is almost deadHace un favor sin mirar a quién, aunque su espíritu está casi muerto

When he returns home, the same thing happens againAl regresar a casa, vuelve a pasar lo que siempre pasa
He hurriedly looks for that smile that’s already waiting for himDe prisa busca aquella sonrisa que ya lo espera
He falls back, exhausted, thanks God he made it backVuelve a caer cansado, agradece a Dios que bien ha llegado
Only the night knows the dreams of that nobodySolo la noche sabe los sueños de ese cualquiera

Ah, poor Juan, where will his crazy dreams go?Ah, qué pobre Juan, ¿sus sueños locos a dónde irán?
In which bar will they stay? Lying down with his tired body¿En qué cantina se quedarán? Tirados con su cansado cuerpo
Poor Juan wants to get along with everyoneEl pobre Juan con todos quiere quedar muy bien
He does a favor without looking at who, even though his spirit is almost deadHace un favor sin mirar a quién, aunque su espíritu está casi muerto
