Translation of the song lyrics Gente Humilde - Mercedes Sosa

Gente Humilde (original)

Hay ciertos días en que pienso en tanta gente
Y siento que mi pecho se pone a llorar
Porque parece que me diera de repente
Como un deseo de vivir en soledad
Igual me pasa que al cruzar por esas villas
Las miro bien viniendo en tren de algún lugar
Y ahí me da como una envidia de esa gente
Que mira al frente sin tener que confiar
Son casas simples con sus rejas de madera
Y en las fachadas escrita arriba dice hogar
En sus n flores tristes y marchitas
Como alegría que no encuentra su lugar
Y ahí me da una tristeza y me lamento
De ser tan poco y no tener con que luchar
Yo que no creo ruego a Dios por esa gente
De gente humilde
Ay!
que ganas de llorar

Gente Humilde (translation)

There are certain days when I think of so many people
And I feel that my chest begins to cry
'Cause it seems like it hit me all of a sudden
Like a desire to live alone
The same happens to me that when crossing those villages
I take a good look at them coming by train from somewhere
And there it makes me envious of those people
That looks ahead without having to trust
They are simple houses with their wooden bars
And on the facades written above it says home
In its n sad and withered flowers
Like joy that doesn't find its place
And there it gives me a sadness and I regret
Of being so little and not having to fight
I do not believe I pray to God for those people
of humble people
Oh!
you want to cry
