Bajo un puente de hormigón
under a concrete bridge
El frio penetra en mi piel cada anochecer
The cold penetrates my skin every evening
Entre cajas de cartón
between cardboard boxes
Tu indiferencia hacia mi, es una humillación
Your indifference towards me is a humiliation
La solución no esta en la caridad
The solution is not in charity
Puede aliviar pero nunca sanar
It can soothe but never heal
Cual es la solución a mi desigualdad?
What is the solution to my inequality?
Mientras exista miseria no habrá dignidad
As long as there is misery there will be no dignity
Mucha solidaridad
A lot of solidarity
Pero si cruzo ante ti, me vas a ignorar
But if I cross in front of you, you will ignore me
La moneda que me das
The coin you give me
Puede lavar tu moral, pero es temporal
It can wash your morale, but it's temporary
