Lyrics translated into Español · See the original lyrics

You sit there on the sidewalk, holding a plastic cup in your handEstás sentado en la acera, sosteniendo una taza de plástico en tu mano

People who walk by talk, turn away their faceLa gente que pasa habla, aparta la mirada

from your begging handde tu mano suplicante

But you don't mind, you've been getting used to thatPero no te importa, te has acostumbrado a eso

You try to find yourself a job, but everywhere you goIntentas conseguir un trabajo, pero en todas partes a donde vas

they need a resuméenecesitan un currículum

You say you can deliver hard work but everywhere the door is slammed in your faceDices que puedes trabajar duro pero en todas partes te cierran la puerta en la cara

But you don't mind you've been getting used to thatPero no te importa, te has acostumbrado a eso

But sometimes it's hard, sometimes it's hard,Pero a veces es difícil, a veces es difícil,

you just want to give up, You've got nothing left but your pridesolo quieres rendirte, no te queda nada más que tu orgullo

It's winter in the city and you need new shoesEs invierno en la ciudad y necesitas zapatos nuevos

to keep your feet from freezingpara que tus pies no se congelen

Surrounded by pity, but noone reaches out a helping hand to youRodeado de lástima, pero nadie te tiende una mano de ayuda

But you don't mind you've been getting used to thatPero no te importa, te has acostumbrado a eso

And you promised yourself you were gonna make itY te prometiste a ti mismo que lo lograrías

You won't let them get the upperhandNo dejarás que te ganen la partida

And you're struggling against giantsY estás luchando contra gigantes

But you won't let them take you down,Pero no los dejarás derrotarte,

Y ou won't let them make you fall,No los dejarás hacerte caer,

You won't let them break your pride...No los dejarás quebrantar tu orgullo...

Pride...hey...Orgullo...hey...

You're sitting on the sidewalk, holding a plastic cup in your hand,Estás sentado en la acera, sosteniendo una taza de plástico en tu mano,

Somebody throws in a silver coin and you wonder how to get it outAlguien arroja una moneda de plata y te preguntas cómo sacarla

Without getting your hands wet...Sin mojarte las manos...

But you don't mind, you've been getting used to more than thatPero no te importa, te has acostumbrado a mucho más que eso
