Pobre Niño

Poor Boy

Pobre Niño

They wake him up earlyTemprano lo levantan
To go to schoolPara ir a la escuela
Kid, if you're lateChamaco si llegas tarde
You'll see what's coming to youVas a ver la que te espera

His uniform is dirtyEstá sucio su uniforme
He didn't do his homeworkNo hizo la tarea
Things have gotten tough at homeLa casa se ha puesto dura
Since they saw his report cardDesde que vieron su boleta

He doesn't want to goNo quiere ir
He has no friendsNo tiene amigos
Nobody respects himNadie lo respeta

On Monday he arrives at classEl lunes llega a clase
He's been feeling down since SundayDesde el domingo trae bajón
He tries, but it's hard for himEl intenta pero le cuesta
To read the boardLeer el pizarrón

They tell him: You know the answerLe dicen sabes la respuesta
He doesn't know what he askedNo sabe que preguntó
Sorry, teacher, please repeat thatPerdón maestra, repita por favor

If you're not going to be in classSi no vas a estar en clase
Leave the roomSalte del salón

Poor boy, poor boyPobre niño, pobre niño
He just wants some peaceSolo quiere estar en paz
Poor boy, poor boyPobre niño, pobre niño
Who can't stop cryingQue no para de llorar

Poor boy, poor boyPobre niño, pobre niño
Who can't take it anymoreQue ya no puede más
Poor boy, poor boyPobre niño, pobre niño
Who's going to help him?¿Quién le va a ayudar?

But when he asks them for help His parents scold himPero cuando les pide ayuda
His parents scold himLo regañan sus papás

It's recess timeEs la hora del recreo
And fate callsY el destino llama
And today he mustered up the courageY hoy se armó de valor
To ask Mariana outPara invitar a mariana
He thinks that if he had someoneCree que si el tuviera a alguien
It could be a reliefPodría ser un alivio

And guess what?¿Y que creen?
(What?)(¿Qué?)
She said yes!¡Le dijo que si!
But only as friendsPero solo como amigos

Waking up with himselfDespertar consigo mismo
Rejection doesn't surprise himEl rechazo no lo extraña
Because he's gained weightPorque ha subido de peso
Since starting high schoolDesde que entró a la secundaria

With tears in his eyesCon lágrimas en los ojos
He looks at himself in the mirrorSe mira hacia el espejo
It wouldn't have happenedNo hubiera pasado
If you weren't so uglySi no fueras tan feo

He's lost all motivationYa se quedó sin ganas
Self-esteem and respectAutoestima ni respeto

Poor boy, poor boyPobre niño, pobre niño
He just wants to be at peaceSolo quiere estar en paz
Poor boy, poor boyPobre niño, pobre niño
Who can't stop cryingQue no para de llorar

Poor boy, poor boyPobre niño, pobre niño
Who can't take it anymoreQue ya no puede más
Poor boy, poor boyPobre niño, pobre niño
Who's going to help him?¿Quién le va a ayudar?

But when he asks them for help His parents scold himPero cuando les pide ayuda
His parents scold himLo regañan sus papás

After a dayDespués de un día
With too much stressCon demasiado estrés
He tells his parentsLe dice a sus jefes
That the teacher wants to see them todayQue la maestra hoy los quiere ver

Kid, why didn't you tell me?¿Chamaco por qué no me dijiste?
Can't you see I have to work?¿Qué no ves que trabajo?
Sorry, Dad, it'll only be for a little whilePerdón papá solo va a ser un rato

If you do something like that againSi vuelves con una de esas
The belt will be backVuelven los cinturonazos

Dear parentsQueridos padres
I don't mean to alarm youAlarmar no es mi intención
But the child may havePero puede que el niño padezca
Attention Deficit DisorderUn transtorno de atención

We need a psychiatristOcupamos un psiquiatra
To give us a solutionQue nos de una solución
These kinds of issuesEste tipo de temas
Require prudence and discretionSon de prudencia y discreción

What ADHD, teacher?¿Cuál tda maestra?
My son is lazyMi hijo es un huevón

Poor boy, poor boyPobre niño, pobre niño
He just wants some peaceSolo quiere estar en paz
Poor boy, poor boyPobre niño, pobre niño
Who won't stop cryingQue no para de llorar

Poor boy, poor boyPobre niño, pobre niño
Who can't take it anymoreQue ya no puede más
Poor boy, poor boyPobre niño, pobre niño
Who will help him?¿Quién le va a ayudar?

But when he asks them for help His parents scold himPero cuando les pide ayuda
His parents scold himLo regañan sus papás
