Buscando Trabajo

Willie Colón Willie Colón

Looking for Work

I wake up with the daylight and the aroma of coffee wakes up my gaze,
I go down the stairs lightly, buy the newspaper on the avenue and read what's new today in the press,
I walk devouring the sidewalk between dust and pavements,
The wait gets longer as I go from office to office filling out a hundred papers to come back another day,
I'm looking for work
I walk the streets of the city
I'm looking for work
I walk the streets of the city
Today I went out for life in the office, oh God
There were a thousand sweating the day,
When I saw my documents they asked me for the card
And a sponsor in the party and that's how the day slips away,
Knocking from door to door, taking what comes up,
Licensed on paper, I walk seven blocks to get myself a job,
I'm looking for work
I walk the streets of the city
I'm looking for work
I walk the streets of the city,
I am a professional
But I can't find work,
(And I keep looking for work)
(And I keep looking for work)
From street to street, from corner to corner, knocking on doors along the avenue
(And I keep looking for work)
(And I keep looking for work)
What I want is to work but nothing appears
(And I keep looking for work)
(And I keep looking for work)
Eh... devouring the sidewalk, the wait gets longer
(And I keep looking for work)
(And I keep looking for work)
As unemployment rises, there were a thousand in line
Looking again
(And I keep looking for work)
(And I keep looking for work)
How one struggles, how one suffers in the street
(And I keep looking for work)
(And I keep looking for work)
The poor can't find work and the rich won't give a hand
(And I keep looking for work)
(And I keep looking for work)
I fought like a brave to then end up with nothing
(And I keep looking for work)
Hey... looking for work gives work
(And I keep looking for work)
(And I keep looking for work)
Eh... I didn't find what I wanted but you have me another day...
