Poor Boy

VERSEESTROFA

He's always alone, wrapped up in his plightSiempre está solo, envuelto en su desgracia

With his hands in his pockets he's walkin' in the nightCon las manos en los bolsillos camina por la noche

With his dark eyes lookin', he's a poor boyCon sus ojos oscuros mirando, es un pobre muchacho

His dark eyes lookin', he's a poor boySus ojos oscuros mirando, es un pobre muchacho

VERSEESTROFA

He can't seem to keep any buttons on his clothesNo parece poder mantener los botones en su ropa

And the shoes on his feet are pinching on his toesY los zapatos en sus pies le aprietan los dedos

And his hair wants a cuttin', he's a poor boyY su cabello necesita un corte, es un pobre muchacho

His hair wants a cuttin', he's a poor boySu cabello necesita un corte, es un pobre muchacho

CHORUSCORO

Hey (now, now) poor boyHey (ahora, ahora) pobre muchacho

What's it all about?¿De qué se trata todo esto?

Hey, poor boyHey, pobre muchacho

Can you hear me when I shout?¿Puedes escucharme cuando grito?

VERSEESTROFA

Well, he's workin' ev'ry day, slavin' for his payBueno, trabaja todos los días, esclavizándose por su salario

And all the pretty women they love to swish and swayY todas las mujeres bonitas les encanta moverse y balancearse

And they always overlook him, he's a poor boyY siempre lo pasan por alto, es un pobre muchacho

They always overlook him, he's a poor boySiempre lo pasan por alto, es un pobre muchacho

VERSEESTROFA

Well, May turns into June, walking through the parkBueno, mayo se convierte en junio, caminando por el parque

And way off in his world he's a-dreamin' in the darkY muy lejos en su mundo está soñando en la oscuridad

With his mind on fire, he's a poor boyCon la mente en llamas, es un pobre muchacho

His mind on fire, he's a poor boySu mente en llamas, es un pobre muchacho

(REPEAT CHORUS)(REPETIR CORO)

VERSEESTROFA

Well, the streets are alive, ev'ry body laughsBueno, las calles están vivas, todos se ríen

People come and go and they're snappin' photographsLa gente va y viene y toman fotografías

And he's over by the river, he's a poor boyY él está junto al río, es un pobre muchacho

He's over by the river, he's a poor boyEstá junto al río, es un pobre muchacho

VERSEESTROFA

Well, spring has come and gone nowBueno, la primavera ha llegado y se ha ido

And how much time you got?¿Y cuánto tiempo tienes?

Time's a-flyin' by, yes, an' summer's gettin' hot an' he'sEl tiempo vuela, sí, y el verano se pone caliente y él está

Lis'nin' to the thunder, he's a poor boyEscuchando el trueno, es un pobre muchacho

He's lis'nin' to the thunder, he's a poor boyEstá escuchando el trueno, es un pobre muchacho
