El bazar de los juguetes

The Toy Bazaar

El bazar de los juguetes

Boss, close the door, why do you look amazedPatrón cierre la puerta, por qué mira asombrado
I'll buy the toys he has in the bazaarLe compro los juguetes que tiene en el bazar
I'll buy them all, no matter what I spendYo se los compro todos, no importa lo que gasto
I have enough money to payDinero no me falta para poder pagar
For just one night, I want to be a wise kingPor una sola noche yo quiero ser rey mago
So that the kids from all over the neighborhoodPara que los purretes de todo el arrabal
Tomorrow when they wake up, they squeeze in their handsMañana al despertarse aprieten en sus manos
The sun of this joy that I want to give themEl sol de esta alegría que yo les quiero dar

At the toy bazaarAl bazar de los juguetes
How many times as a kidCuantas veces de purrete
I would approach to seeMe acercaba para ver
To see from there, from outsidePara ver de allí, de afuera
From behind the shop windowDesde atrás de la vidriera
What I would never haveLo que nunca iba a tener

If my mom was so poorSi mi vieja era tan pobre
Always short of a pennyLe faltaba siempre un cobre
To buy us breadPara comprarnos el pan
And now that I canY hoy que puedo
That luck smiles at meQue la suerte me sonríe
I don't want there to be a kidYo no quiero que haya un pibe
Who doesn't haveQue no tenga
A toy to play withNi un juguete pa' jugar

I know what it's like to feel on Christmas EveYo sé lo que es sentirse en una nochebuena
Without a single gift, with a piece of breadSin un solo regalo, con un cacho de pan
Knowing that others, crossing the streetSabiendo que los otros, cruzando la vereda
Left their toys in the middle of the hallwayDejaban sus juguetes en medio del zaguán
I know what it's like to be kissed tenderlyYo sé lo que es sentirse besado tiernamente
By a poor mother who couldn't give mePor una pobre madre que no me pudo dar
Not even the humblest and poorest of all toysNi el más humilde y pobre de todos los juguetes
That's why I buy them for that reason alonePor eso se los compro por eso nada más

If my mom was so poorSi mi vieja era tan pobre
Always short of a pennyLe faltaba siempre un cobre
To buy us breadPara comprarnos el pan
And now that I canY hoy que puedo
That luck smiles at meQue la suerte me sonríe
I don't want there to be a kidYo no quiero que haya un pibe
Who doesn't haveQue no tenga
A toy to play withNi un juguete pa' jugar
