Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Cuando tú no estás by El Tri from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Por la gran ciudad
through the big city
Viendo a miles
watching thousands
De gentes pasar
of people pass
Unos van muy serios
some are very serious
Otros van sonriendo
Others are smiling
Y otros van corriendo
and others are running
Como queriendo escapar
like wanting to escape
De pronto veo a los niños
suddenly I see the children
Que en la esquina están
that are in the corner
Pidiendo pa' un taco
Asking for a taco
Pidiendo pa' un pan
Asking for a bread
Sus caritas reflejan
their little faces reflect
Y el vacío que se siente cuando tu no estás
And the emptiness that feels when you're not here
Mas prendido que el sol
hotter than the sun
Mas obscuro que la negra noche
Darker than the black night
Mas profundo que el mar
deeper than the sea
Mas absurdo que la realidad
more absurd than reality
Mas ardiente que el fuego infernal
Hotter than hellfire
Mas inmenso que la eternidad
bigger than eternity
Así es le vacío que se siente
That's how empty it feels
Cuando tu no estas
When you are not here
Sin voltear a ver
without turning to see
A los pobres niños
To the poor children
Que no tiene que comer
that you don't have to eat
Algunos les dan algo pero
Some give them something but
La mayoría no da nada
most give nothing
Y sus tristes mirada
and his sad gaze
Me hace sentir
It makes me feel
