The Story Of The Kid

La Historia del Pibe

Three shots were heardTres disparos se escucharon
On that cold nightEn aquella noche fría
A scream drowned in silenceGrito ahogado en el silencio
The kid fell in the cornerEl pibe cayó en la esquina
No one heard anythingNadie escuchó nada
The police told usNos dijo la policía
Three shots were heardTres disparos se escucharon
And that kid was dyingY el pibe aquel se moría

The hallways stand witnessLos pasillos son testigos
Silent to that incidentMudos de aquel incidente
His friends held a vigil for himSus amigos lo velaron
And his people mourned himY lo lloraba su gente
How could this happen?¿Como pudo pasar esto?
Commented a neighborComentaba una vecina
While lighting a candleMientras prendía una vela
For the kid of the cornerPara el pibe de la esquina

March of silenceMarcha del silencio
Of pain and of faithDel dolor y de la fe
March of silenceMarcha del silencio
Of pain and of faithDel dolor y de la fe
March of silenceMarcha del silencio
Of pain and of faithDel dolor y de la fe
For all those kidsPor todos aquellos pibes
That justice does not seeQue la justicia no ve
For all those kidsPor todos aquellos pibes
That justice does not seeQue la justicia no ve

His parents have been asking for justiceSus padres piden justicia
Ever since that cold nightDesde aquella noche fría
Justice that never comesJusticia que nunca llega
For the kid of the cornerPara el pibe de la esquina
Just turned sixteenDieciséis recién cumplidos
With a bike and a jobDe bicicleta y laburo
Because for the poor, lifePorque a los pobres, la vida
Always hits us so hardSiempre nos pega tan duro

How could this happen?¿Como pudo pasar esto?
Commented a neighborComentaba una vecina
While lighting a candleMientras prendía una vela
For the kid of the cornerPara el pibe de la esquina
