Chicos de La Calle

Sleeping on the streetDuermen en la calle
Waking up in the skyDespiertan en el cielo
They look at you sidewaysTe miran de reojo
They ask for coinsTe piden monedas

They don't know about trendsEllos no saben de modas
They've never been to schoolJamás han ido a la escuela
They don't dream of bikesNo sueñan con motos
Nor do they expect to be starsNi esperan ser estrellas

Their home is a benchSu hogar es un banco
In the square or stationEn la plaza o estación
Their life slips awaySu vida se va
And the wind is all that's leftY viento es lo que queda

For them, it's all the samePara ellos es lo mismo
Winter, heatEl invierno, el calor
Night, dayLa noche, el día
Moon, sunLa luna, el sol

They are the childrenEllos son los niños
Who neither cry nor laughQue ni lloran ni rien
Who have no loveQue no tienen amor
Nor light to guide themNi luz que los guíe

They are the childrenSon los niños
Who wait for meQue esperan de mi
Who wait for youQue esperan de vos
Who wait for GodQue esperan de Dios
