El Mendigo

Lord, I fervently and humbly implore you
You who are the father of humanity
Generously forget my sins
And grant me more acceptance for my sorrows
Generously forget my sins
And grant me more acceptance for my sorrows

I go through life always pondering
Why do others enjoy while I suffer
While everyone passes by laughing and singing
I beg for alms for the love of God
While everyone passes by laughing and singing
I beg for alms for the love of God

I live sad and alone in the slums
I have no home but a sad doorway
I can't cry anymore for my great sorrows
Lord, I can't anymore, my pain is horrible
I can't cry anymore for my great sorrows
Lord, I can't anymore, my pain is horrible

Without father or mother, friends or siblings
I silently devour my own pain
And every time I raise my hands to heaven
Asking for comfort, I am filled with horror
And every time I raise my hands to heaven
Asking for comfort, I am filled with horror
