As the snow flies As the snow flies Mientras vuela la nieve On a cold and gray Chicago mornin' On a cold and gray Chicago mornin' En una mañana fría y gris de Chicago A poor little baby child is born A poor little baby child is born Nace un pobre y pequeño bebé In the ghetto In the ghetto En el gueto And his mama cries And his mama cries Y su mamá llora 'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need 'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need Porque si hay algo que ella no necesita It's another hungry mouth to feed It's another hungry mouth to feed Es otra boca hambrienta que alimentar In the ghetto In the ghetto En el gueto People, don't you understand People, don't you understand Amigos, no os dais cuenta The child needs a helping hand The child needs a helping hand De que ese niño necesita que le echen una mano Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day O acabará convirtiéndose algún día en un joven rabioso? Take a look at you and me Take a look at you and me Míranos a ti y a mí Are we too blind to see Are we too blind to see Estamos demasiado ciegos para verlo Do we simply turn our heads Do we simply turn our heads O simplemente giramos la cabeza And look the other way And look the other way Y miramos hacia otro lado Well, the world turns Well, the world turns Oye, el mundo gira And a hungry little boy with a runny nose And a hungry little boy with a runny nose Y un chiquillo hambriento y lleno de mocos Plays in the street as the cold wind blows Plays in the street as the cold wind blows Juega en la calle mientras sopla un frío viento In the ghetto In the ghetto En el gueto And his hunger burns And his hunger burns Y el hambre le quema So he starts to roam the streets at night So he starts to roam the streets at night Así que empieza a vagar por las calles de noche And he learns how to steal And he learns how to steal Y aprende a robar And he learns how to fight And he learns how to fight Y aprende a pelear In the ghetto In the ghetto En el gueto Then one night in desperation Then one night in desperation Entonces, una noche, desesperado A young man breaks away A young man breaks away El joven se escapa de casa He buys a gun, steals a car He buys a gun, steals a car Compra una pistola, roba un coche Tries to run, but he don't get far Tries to run, but he don't get far Intenta huir, pero no llega lejos And his mama cries And his mama cries Y su mamá llora As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man Mientras la gente se amontona alrededor de un joven rabioso Face down on the street with a gun in his hand Face down on the street with a gun in his hand Con la cara en el suelo y una pistola en la mano In the ghetto In the ghetto En el gueto As her young man dies As her young man dies Y mientras su chico muere On a cold and gray Chicago mornin' On a cold and gray Chicago mornin' En una mañana fría y gris de Chicago Another little baby child is born Another little baby child is born Nace otro pequeño bebé In the ghetto In the ghetto En el gueto As his mama cries As his mama cries
