I Pity the Poor Immigrant(original) |
I pity the poor immigrant |
Who wishes he would’ve stayed home, |
Who uses all his power to do evil |
But in the end is always left so alone. |
That man whom with his fingers cheats |
And who lies with ev’ry breath, |
Who passionately hates his life |
And likewise, fears his death. |
I pity the poor immigrant |
Whose strength is spent in vain, |
Whose heaven is like Ironsides, |
Whose tears are like rain, |
Who eats but is not satisfied, |
Who hears but does not see, |
Who falls in love with wealth itself |
And turns his back on me. |
I pity the poor immigrant |
Who tramples through the mud, |
Who fills his mouth with laughing |
And who builds his town with blood, |
Whose visions in the final end |
Must shatter like the glass. |
I pity the poor immigrant |
When his gladness comes to pass. |
(traducción) |
Me da pena el pobre inmigrante |
¿Quién desea haberse quedado en casa, |
Quien usa todo su poder para hacer el mal |
Pero al final siempre se queda tan solo. |
Ese hombre al que con los dedos engaña |
y quien miente con cada respiración, |
Quien odia apasionadamente su vida |
Y así mismo, teme su muerte. |
Me da pena el pobre inmigrante |
cuya fuerza se gasta en vano, |
cuyo cielo es como Ironsides, |
cuyas lágrimas son como la lluvia, |
el que come y no se sacia, |
Quien oye pero no ve, |
Quien se enamora de la riqueza misma |
Y me da la espalda. |
Me da pena el pobre inmigrante |
Quien pisotea el lodo, |
Quien se llena la boca de risa |
y el que edifica su pueblo con sangre, |
Cuyas visiones en el final final |
Debe romperse como el cristal. |
Me da pena el pobre inmigrante |
Cuando su alegría llega a pasar. |
