Duende

He never asked to be born
And when he asked, no one gave him
His body is the bones that the earth ate
Hunger and pain
He already has enough
His mind is like a balloon flying and flying non-stop
He's like an elf
He looks like an elf
He's a child without childhood and without cake
He's like an elf
He looks like an elf
He seems like fantasy but he's a real child
He's a child with gray skin
With no one, no home
Sleeping on the sidewalks, waking up without dreaming
And he's centuries old and everything remains the same
As he's a poor child, his sadness is very normal
He's like an elf
He looks like an elf
He's a child without childhood and without cake
He's like an elf
He looks like an elf
He lives among garbage, doesn't seem real
He has nowhere to be
But he has somewhere to go
His only fortune is his paper dreams
He asks the sun today
For the day to come
He's a man, not an elf, asking for just one world
Just one world
Just one world
Leave him the third one, just one
Just one world
Just one world
They have them divided but the world keeps spinning
He's a child like any other
Just without a nice school
Give him a book and he'll touch a star
He'll grow
He's like an elf
He looks like an elf
He's a child without childhood and without cake
He's like an elf
He looks like an elf
Feed him and he'll think
He's like an elf
He looks like an elf
He's a child without childhood and without cake
He's like an elf
He looks like an elf
Let him dream and he'll reach a star
He's like an elf
He looks like an elf
He's a child without childhood and without cake
He's like an elf
He looks like an elf
Teach him to read and this world will change
