Pobreza Infeliz

Unhappy Poverty
Maria and Joseph were married
Poverty had devoured them
They had 7 children, Joseph without a job
Maria working in houses for food
Returning home, their children crying
'Mom, what did you bring? We can't
Stand it, Dad already left, I think
He has abandoned us
When morning came, Maria left
Along the road, she gave away her children
Without knowing to whom
She only asked them to be fed
Unhappy poverty goes hand in hand
With ignorance, where is Joseph?
Where is Maria, where are their children?
The cause is yours
They say Joseph went crazy
When he couldn't support his children
They have seen him barefoot and ragged
With a sack, begging for food
They say Maria found Joseph
Both confused, not knowing who was who
They go hand in hand with their sack
Begging for food
Unhappy poverty goes hand in hand
With ignorance, where is Joseph?
Where is Maria, where are their children?
The cause is yours
