Oscarcito

Hello friend, how are you, I'm Oscar
I'm nine years old
A house somewhere
And seven little siblings
I tell you I like to play
But I play a little
In the street that is now my home
The mosquitoes eat more
Don't be scared, sir, please
Don't be scared, I don't bite, I don't bark
Although sometimes my stomach tells me
Oscarcito, we have to chew something
What I have in my hand is for you
They told me this is a little saint
Pray to him, let's see if you're lucky
And if you don't mind, I ask for a coin

Oh Oscarcito, how your eyes shine
Oh Oscarcito, always dirty little hands
Where is a piece of sun
To warm up
Your sweet heart
That doesn't want to fade away

Almost every time I enter a bar
The waiters kick me out
But one becomes smarter
And can rescue a couple of toasts
That later, are shared, sir
They are shared with a friend
And if there's not even a crumb
We pull together so the stomach
Doesn't make more noise
I also have an older brother
But I don't see him much
He appears very occasionally
If the police is not looking for him
No news from dad, sir
Mom says we look alike
He left one day to seek the future that supposedly we all deserve

Oh Oscarcito
Tonight is in Constitución
Many other nights I endure in Retiro
I prefer not to have a mattress
Than for a priest to take advantage of me
And now I'm off to another train car
The other day I got a beating
For hanging out with a lady
Who had no money and gave me her smile

Oh Oscarcito

Oh Oscarcito, come play a little
Oh Oscarcito, like a tiny elf
From station to station
You're looking to warm up
Your sweet heart
That doesn't want to fade away
