The cumbia of the poor
You live surrounded by so much poverty,don't be ashamed, don't be embarrassed
because this life is a very sad and hard thing,
ignore the rest1 and start fighting back.
For I too am poor as you are poor,
I have a mother, wife and children
that ask me for something and I can give them nothing2,
that ask me for something and I can give them nothing.
But I know how to strive, strive and triumph
and my life is destined for a cruel fate
and yet I know that only through striving will I triumph
and yet I know that only through striving will I triumph.
