Street Child (prueba)

This is just a test for my song 'Street Child'. I'm not done writing it... I guess you can feel that. I'll upload a video with this song again in a couple of months, and will get this one out. Sorry for my poor guitar skills :)

Esto es una prueba para la canción que estoy componiendo. Aún no está acabada, pero bah... En un par de meses la vuelvo a subir, y quito este video.

Street Child

Music and Lyrics by Rubén Pérez.

He was alone on the street where he was born.
Nobody noticed him: he was on his own.
8 years old; no home, no future, no fantasy,
had never known his own damn family

He tried to fly, to survive, to reach the sky;
the sun was high, the day looked right:
It was his chance to get away.
But life was though, the street was cruel...
He couldn't smile
cause he was nothing but a street child.

No encuentra a nadie. Su casa está vacía.
El rostro al viento; sólo siente el pegamento.
Hay quién lo mira sin compasión, sin simpatía;
Apenas siente el frío; no le queda aliento.

He tried to fly, to survive, to reach the sky;
The sun was high, the day looked right:
It was his chance to get away.
But life was though, the street was cruel...
He couldn't smile
Cause he was nothing but a street child.

He turned 13. Had lost his smell.
He was all dirt. He met a girl
and found a new way to fool hunger with his friend.
She was the place where he could lay.
Love came around; lost innocence...
They didn't realize their son was on the way.

Quiso volar, sobrevivir, llegar al mar.
Amanecía, era un buen día
para escapar.
Pero la vida no le deja respirar
porque no es más que un niño sin hogar.

Quizá algún día encontrará un lugar donde soñar
con un vida de verdad.

How can this be? We think of ourselves so high
that we forget about the rest. It's not alright.
So sing this song with me, let's give some voice to those who can't speak.
Hay mucho por hacer; no hay nada, nada que perder.
Life was so though, the street so cruel...
He couldn't smile
cause he was nothing but a street child.

He was alone on the street were he was born.
Nobody noticed him: he was on his own.

I'm from Spain. It's pretty difficult to hide the accent. I don't really care about it, though. Thanks.
