¿Por qué? [English translation]

Across the world, it happens again and again

A child wakes up, unable to eat

Goes out to beg or to work

No time to play

The sun has left marks across his skin

And the asphalt has destroyed his tiny feet

His school is the street

His day, never-ending

He's scared of the punishment he'll receive

There's a cuota to meet

Luck isn't his friend

Crying, he asks:

Chorus

Why? Is this happening to me?

Why? Do I have to live like this?

Why? Does nobody care?

About how I'm suffering

Why? Don't they want to look at me?

Why? Do they keep ignoring me?

Why? Does nobody care?

If I live or die

If I live, if I die

If I live, if I die

As years pass, he learned to steal

And drugs became his escape from reality

Searching for a family, he joined a gang

His innocence has turned to malice

His soul is hardened and resentful

Society judges him and he blames them

This story is repeated over and over again

So many children like him

Crying, will ask

Without ever finding an answer

Chorus (x2)

All the selfishness consuming him

Respect is replaced by alienation

His conscience screams, he violates rights

To survive, without money

If I live, if I die

Why Why Why
