Orange Boy

Boy who goes to the market
Selling his oranges until they run out
Son of a single mother
Whose ignorance he has to support

It's dawn, he feels cold
Because if the basket doesn't return empty
His mother will find another orange
This son will have to suffer

Buy oranges boy and go to the market...

It's dawn, he feels cold
Because if the basket doesn't return empty
His mother will find another orange
This son will have to suffer

Buy oranges, oranges, oranges, sir
I'll even give you an extra one!

There, in the hill, we wake up early
And it's just work
Food is scarce and lots of clothes
That the city sends to wash

At dawn, he, the boy, wakes up early
Trying to find
A little to be able to live until he grows up
And life gets better

Buy oranges, sir
I'll even give you an extra one!
Buy oranges, sir
I'll even give you an extra one!
Buy oranges, oranges, oranges, sir
I'll even give you an extra one!

There, in the hill, we wake up early
And it's just work
Food is scarce and lots of clothes
That the city sends to wash

At dawn, he, the boy, wakes up early
Trying to find
A little to be able to live until he grows up
And life gets better

Buy oranges, sir
I'll even give you an extra one!
Buy oranges, sir
I'll even give you an extra one!
I'll even... give you an extra one!
Buy oranges sir, I'll give you an extra one, sir!
Buy oranges sir, sir!
