Pride
You sit there on the sidewalk, holding a plastic cup in your hand
People who walk by talk, turn away their face
from your begging hand
But you don't mind, you've been getting used to that
You try to find yourself a job, but everywhere you go
they need a resumée
You say you can deliver hard work but everywhere the door is slammed in your face
But you don't mind you've been getting used to that
But sometimes it's hard, sometimes it's hard,
you just want to give up, You've got nothing left but your pride
It's winter in the city and you need new shoes
to keep your feet from freezing
Surrounded by pity, but noone reaches out a helping hand to you
But you don't mind you've been getting used to that
And you promised yourself you were gonna make it
You won't let them get the upperhand
And you're struggling against giants
But you won't let them take you down,
Y ou won't let them make you fall,
You won't let them break your pride...
Pride...hey...
You're sitting on the sidewalk, holding a plastic cup in your hand,
Somebody throws in a silver coin and you wonder how to get it out
Without getting your hands wet...
But you don't mind, you've been getting used to more than that
Orgullo
Estás sentado en la acera, sosteniendo una taza de plástico en tu mano
La gente que pasa habla, aparta la mirada
de tu mano suplicante
Pero no te importa, te has acostumbrado a eso
Intentas conseguir un trabajo, pero en todas partes a donde vas
necesitan un currículum
Dices que puedes trabajar duro pero en todas partes te cierran la puerta en la cara
Pero no te importa, te has acostumbrado a eso
Pero a veces es difícil, a veces es difícil,
solo quieres rendirte, no te queda nada más que tu orgullo
Es invierno en la ciudad y necesitas zapatos nuevos
para que tus pies no se congelen
Rodeado de lástima, pero nadie te tiende una mano de ayuda
Pero no te importa, te has acostumbrado a eso
Y te prometiste a ti mismo que lo lograrías
No dejarás que te ganen la partida
Y estás luchando contra gigantes
Pero no los dejarás derrotarte,
No los dejarás hacerte caer,
No los dejarás quebrantar tu orgullo...
Orgullo...hey...
Estás sentado en la acera, sosteniendo una taza de plástico en tu mano,
Alguien arroja una moneda de plata y te preguntas cómo sacarla
Sin mojarte las manos...
Pero no te importa, te has acostumbrado a mucho más que eso
