Menino de Rua

Fine rain on the sidewalk, I feel cold
And those who pass by the streets don't even see me
Just like the waters flow to the river
I'm running against time to live

I'm just another sad boy who doesn't know
In this life, how it came and where it goes
I only feel a sadness that invades me
Never knowing mom and dad

I don't know why I came into this world like this
Only God in Heaven is perfect
And knows that I'm not happy like this
I just know that my home is at this moment
A blanket of leaves and wind
And my bed is a garden bench

Sometimes when I'm hungry, I'm clever
And I get someone's wallet
In truth, I know that's not right
And not always do well in those cases

When Christmas comes, I also cry
Because I never received a gift
If Santa Claus doesn't know where I live
I don't even know my own address

I don't know why I came into this world like this
Only God in Heaven is perfect
And knows that I'm not happy like this
I just know that my home is at this moment
A blanket of leaves and wind
And my bed is a garden bench

Little friends I meet on the corner
Also suffer the same pain as me
In the encounter between glue and gasoline
It's hard to understand what love is

But if one day, on the road of danger
You find in the gutter of a brothel
There on the ground my little body lying
Everyone will know in life that it was me

I don't know why I came into this world like this
Only God in Heaven is perfect
And knows that I'm not happy like this
I just know that my home is at this moment
A blanket of leaves and wind
And my bed is a garden bench
