El Rico y El Pobre

The Rich and The Poor

El Rico y El Pobre

How lucky some buddies areQue dicha compadre que tienen algunos
They have money to spare, women and luxuriesLes sobra el dinero, mujeres y lujos
Their luxurious cars, their huge housesSus autos lujosos sus casas enormes
And they make money at the expense of the poorY ganan dinero a costa del pobre

Why does such a difference have to existPorque tiene que existir tanta diferencia
I wonder and question myself every dayYo me pregunto y me cuestiono cada día
While some have immense fortunesMientras algunos tienen fortunas inmensas
Others beg for a plate of foodOtros imploran por un plato de comida
There are so many people who work tirelesslyHay tanta gente que trabaja sin descanso
With mistreatment and for a miserable salaryCon un mal trato y por un sueldo miserable
They work hard to educate their childrenTrabajan duro para educar a sus hijos
And are always forced to go into debtY viven siempre obligados a endeudarse

Poverty exists all over the worldEn el mundo entero existe pobreza
Yet some are not interestedSin embargo a algunos no les interesa
The poor's money doesn't stretch at allLa plata del pobre no alcanza pa' nada
Day by day life becomes heavierDía a día la vida se hace más pesada

Why does such a difference have to existPorque tiene que existir tanta diferencia
I wonder and question myself every dayYo me pregunto y me cuestiono cada día
While some have immense fortunesMientras algunos tienen fortunas inmensas
Others beg for a plate of foodOtros imploran por un plato de comida
There are so many people who work tirelesslyHay tanta gente que trabaja sin descanso
With mistreatment and for a miserable salaryCon un mal trato y por un sueldo miserable
They work hard to educate their childrenTrabajan duro para educar a sus hijos
And are always forced to go into debtY viven siempre obligados a endeudarse
