Cardboard Houses
How sad, the rain sounds
on the cardboard roofs
how sad my people live
in the cardboard houses.
The worker comes down
almost dragging his steps
under the weight of suffering
look how much suffering
look how heavy the suffering
Upstairs leaves the pregnant woman
down is the city
and gets lost in its tangle
today is the same as yesterday
it's a world without tomorrow.
How sad, the rain sounds
on the cardboard roofs
how sad my people live
in the cardboard houses.
Children the color of my land
with the same scars
millionaires of worms and,
that's why the children live sadly
in the cardboard houses
How sad, the rain sounds
on the cardboard roofs
how sad my people live
in the cardboard houses.
You won't believe it
but there are schools for dogs
and they are educated
so they don't bite the newspapers
but the boss
has been biting the worker
for years, many years
How sad, the rain sounds
on the cardboard roofs
how far, hope passes by
in the cardboard houses.
