La Historia de Lazarillo de Tormes

In the Tormes River, a faithful boy was born
Lázaro's his name, in a cruel world, forlorn
He lost his father, his mother fought hard
And in the blind man, he found his first card

Oh, Lazarillo, a rogue like no other
With hunger and cunning, you live in the gutter!
From master to master, he lived day by day
Learning from each one what came his way

The blind man deceives him, with laughter and pain
But Lázaro learns the trick, with fire in his veins
Mockery and cleverness marked his life’s path
And soon he found another master, the cleric's wrath

Oh, Lazarillo, a rogue like no other
With hunger and cunning, you live in the gutter!
From master to master, he lived day by day
Learning from each one what came his way

With the squire, luxury without any power
The hidden poverty he couldn't devour
The friar and the chaplain also came through
With his tough life, Lázaro pushed on too

The swindler deceives, selling prayers on the street
And the water carrier never admits defeat
Lázaro keeps on with his clever charade
In every trick, he finds light in the shade

Oh, Lazarillo, a rogue like no other
With hunger and cunning, you live in the gutter!
From master to master, he lived day by day
Learning from each one what came his way

Honor, faith, and hypocrisy
Are themes that echo in his melody
Hunger guides him, life’s a tough ride
But with his smarts, he continues his stride

Oh, Lazarillo, a rogue like no other
With hunger and cunning, you live in the gutter!
From master to master, he lived day by day
And with his cleverness, he overcame all the fray.
