Miguitas de ternura [English translation]

Along the streets of this World, a lost boy wanders,

He carries all breeds on his skin.

If someday he crosses in your way,

Ask him: what are you looking for? and he will say:

       I need crumbs of tenderness,

     If you have a little extra, give it to me.

     I need crumbs of tenderness,

     If you have a little extra, give it to me.

Along the nights of this World, a girl walks

With all sins on her skin.

If she stops you and asks you to light a cigarette,

Ask her: what are you looking for? and she will say:

       I need crumbs of tenderness,

     If you have a little extra, give it to me.

     I need crumbs of tenderness,

     If you have a little extra, give it to me.

In the squares of this World, a grandfather basks in the sun1,

He carries all life on his skin.

If you see him giving crumbs to the pigeons,

Ask him: what are you looking for? and he will say:

       I need crumbs of tenderness,

     If you have a little extra, give it to me.

     I need crumbs of tenderness,

     If you have a little extra, give it to me.
