HASTA CUANDO

The Ice Boy Looks for Money
The children of the neighborhood do not have a schedule
Until when? Drugs, business, money, and smuggling
Until when? I'm going to see my children shivering

Parents fill the fridge
Unemployed mothers scrub stairs
Police checkpoints on the road
The children carry us in their fanny packs

Social housing, slums
Children without education but with manners
The help they promise here is worthless
Food banks, social services

I have a couple of friends who went to jail
His family is the one who carries the weight
Consequences of looking for cheese
They had to do it because there was no income

Nobody knows anything here, nobody trusts here
We don't want to know anything about the police
They look for bread in the cold night
Another time they sleep in the police station

The Ice Boy Looks for Money
The children of the neighborhood do not have a schedule
Until when? Drugs, business, money, and smuggling
Until when? I'm going to see my children shivering

They did it to find a way out
They did it for a plate of food
Even if they don't have money, they are happy
They have their hands full of scars

How many times have we crashed into the wall?
How many nights did we walk through the dark?
The blows of life were hard
The children of the neighborhood build their future

There were so many nights, so many stories
I keep them all in my memory
Life turns like a Ferris wheel
They are just trying to find their way out

We have nothing to lose here
We learned to walk before we learned to run
I lost faith a long time ago
God didn't hear me when I called him

The Ice Boy Looks for Money
The children of the neighborhood do not have a schedule
Until when? Drugs, business, money, and smuggling
Until when? I'm going to see my children shivering
