Tierra adentro

Since he was little
That his star abandoned him
Another dream that by chance
Life collapsed

It's not the little black boy's fault
The parents he got
Who avoid his gaze
Until they abandoned him

Mom left
I don't know if she'll come back
Don't let dad come
Who doesn't stop hitting

The street is the guide
In this journey of lies
It teaches you with blows
Night after night, day after day

There's no rest for the warrior
Who fights for his life
And is building his story
At a price he didn't understand

Today no one cooked
I'll be hungry until the sun rises
Tomorrow I'll think
What will there be to eat

The journey is very long
And the supplies must be prepared
And in this farm there's only time
To face the challenges
