Tune: Isabel Parra.
Por qué los pobres no tienen adonde volver la vista la vuelven hacia los cielos con la esperanza infinita de encontrar lo que a su hermano en este mundo le quitan, palomitay, qué cosas tiene la vida, ay zambitay. Por qué los pobres no tienen Por qué los pobres no tienen De tiempos inmemoriables Y pa’ seguir la mentira | Because the poor have no other place to look for help, they turn their eyes to heaven with hope that never ends; up there, they hope they’ll find all the things they never had in this world. Palomita, is that not strange? Because they have no one else From the beginning of time, And so the lies won’t be found out; |
