Joan Manuel Serrat "Niño silvestre" lyrics

Translation to:en

Niño silvestre

Hijo del cerropresagio de mala muerte,niño silvestreque acechando la acera viene y va.

Niño de nadieque buscándose la vidadesluce la aveniday le da mala fama a la ciudad.

Recién nacidocon la inocencia amputadaque en la manadaredime su pecado de existir.

Niño sin niñoindefenso y asustadoque aprende a fuerza de paloscomo las bestias a sobrevivir.

Niño silvestrelustrabotas y raterose vende a piezas o entero,como onza de chocolate.

Ronda la callemientras el día la rondeque por la noche se escondepara que no le maten.

Y si la suertepor llamarlo de algún modo,ahuyenta al lobo,y le alarga la vida un poco más.

Si el pegamentono le pudre los pulmones,si escapa de los matones,si sobrevive al látigo, quizás

llegue hasta viejoentre cárceles y "fierros"sembrando el cerrode más niños silvestres, al azar.

y cualquier nocheen un trabajo de limpiezale vuele la cabezaa alguno de ellos, sin pestañear.

Indigenous child

Child from the hillomen of deathindigenous childthat watching the sidewalk comes and goes.

Child of no onethat searching for his liferuins the avenueand gives a bad reputation to the city.

Recently bornwith his innocence cut outthat in the packredeems his sin of existence.

Child without childdefenceless and frightenedthat learns by means of stickshow the beasts survive.

Indigenous childshoe-shiner and petty thiefaccepts bribes in pieces or whole,like ounces of chocolate.

He prowls the streetwhile the day watches itthat at night hidesso that they don't kill him.

And if luckby calling him from any mannerdispels the wolf,and gladdens his life a bit more.

If the adhesivedoesn't rot his lungs,if he escapes from the thugs,if he survives the whip, perhaps

he reach old agebetween jail and "metals"sowing the hillof more indigenous children, to chance.

And any nightin a cleaning jobhe turns his headto one of them, without batting an eyelid.
