| Muchachito que apenas | little boy who just |

| Por la fatalidad | for fatality |
| Vas vendiendo los diarios | You are selling the newspapers |
| Con tu pureza del alma | With your purity of soul |

| A tan temprana edad | at such a young age |
| Tu refugio es la calle | Your refuge is the street |
| Y tu manto la noche | and your cloak the night |
| Y tu canto de niño | And your child's song |
| Las noticias señor | the news sir |
| Muchachito que apenas | little boy who just |
| Vas naciendo a la vida | you are born to life |
| Dios te marque el sendero | God marks the path for you |
| De un camino mejor | of a better way |
