El Huerfanito
Antonio Machín
The Little Orphan
I have no father
I have no mother
I have no one
Who loves me
I have no father
I have no mother
I have no one
Who loves me
I have neither father nor mother
To suffer my sorrows
I am an orphan
I only carry sadness and martyrdom in my soul
The cruel pain
Of not finding a woman
A good woman
To fill the void so
Great that they left
With tender love
I have no father
I have no mother
I have no one
Who loves me
I have no father
I have no mother
I have no one
Who loves me
How sad it is to live without a father
It's sad to see a crying child
But sadder, ma'am
Is to live without a mother
How unfortunate I am
How unfortunate my fate
There are many who have two
And I have none.
Orphan, orphan I am
I am, the little orphan
Orphan, orphan I am
I am, the little orphan
I am an orphan in life
The world ignores my pain
I carry the flame burning
Of my orphanhood step by step
And I laugh like the clown
For my misunderstood mission
Orphan, orphan I am
I am, the little orphan
Orphan, orphan I am
I am
The little orphan
