Poor Child

Luis Chocobar

Niño Pobre

Vaga por las calles solo
Anda en busca de un amigo
Pero nadie se le arrima
Saben que es un Niño Pobre

Tiene la carita triste
No cree más en Reyes Magos
Tantos años le fallaron
A su corazón de barro

Padres pobre, hermano pobre
Tío pobre, abuelos pobre
Maestro pobre, escuela pobre
Ay ay ay que Niño Pobre

Ay, no llores Niño Pobre no es de hombres
Ay, no llores, todos, todos se reirán
Ay, si lloras mucho mal a ti te harán
Niño Pobre

(Recitado)
Que distinto seria el mundo para vos
Si en cada calle, en cada esquina
Alguien te tendiera una mano
Que distinto seria el mundo para vos
Y tu corazón de barro
Volvería a creer de nuevo en esos viejos Reyes Magos
Que distinto seria el mundo para vos
De no haber sido, de no haber nacido
Niño Pobre

Ay, no llores Niño Pobre no es de hombres
Ay, no llores, todos, todos se reirán
Ay, si lloras mucho mal a ti te harán
Niño Pobre

Padres pobre, hermano pobre
Tío pobre, abuelo pobre
Maestro pobre, escuela pobre
Ay ay ay que Niño Pobre

Padres pobre, hermano pobre
Tío pobre, abuelo pobre
Maestro pobre, escuela pobre
Ay ay ay que Niño Pobre
Ay ay ay que Niño Pobre
Ay ay ay que Niño Pobre

Poor Child

Wanders the streets alone
Looking for a friend
But no one comes close
They know he's a Poor Child

He has a sad little face
No longer believes in the Three Wise Men
So many years they failed him
His heart made of clay

Poor parents, poor brother
Poor uncle, poor grandparents
Poor teacher, poor school
Oh, what a Poor Child

Oh, don't cry Poor Child, it's not manly
Oh, don't cry, everyone will laugh
Oh, if you cry too much, they will harm you
Poor Child

(Recited)
How different the world would be for you
If on every street, on every corner
Someone reached out a hand to you
How different the world would be for you
And your heart of clay
Would believe again in those old Three Wise Men
How different the world would be for you
If you hadn't been born
Poor Child

Oh, don't cry Poor Child, it's not manly
Oh, don't cry, everyone will laugh
Oh, if you cry too much, they will harm you
Poor Child

Poor parents, poor brother
Poor uncle, poor grandparents
Poor teacher, poor school
Oh, what a Poor Child

Poor parents, poor brother
Poor uncle, poor grandparents
Poor teacher, poor school
Oh, what a Poor Child
Oh, what a Poor Child
Oh, what a Poor Child
