La historia de Juan [English translation]

This is the story of John

The boy that no one loved

who grew up in the streets looking for love under the sun

His mother abandoned him

His father abused him

His home was an alley

His bed, a box, His friend, God

Juan asked for love

and the world denied him

Juan asked for honor

and the world gave him shame

Juan asked for forgiveness

and the world hurt him

Juan asked and asked and the world never listened to him

He just tried to play

He just tried to dream

He just tried to love

But the world forgot him

He just tried to fly

He just tried to sing

He just tried to love

But the world forgot him

So great was his pain

That one day it took him

So great was his pain

That his heart broke

So great was his fear

That one day he just cried

So great was his fear

That one day his light went out

He just tried to play

He just tried to dream

He just tried to love

But the world forgot him

He just tried to fly

He just tried to sing

He just tried to love

But the world forgot him
