The nights grow cold, my search for gold

Is leading nowhere

Whichever lonely road I take

It seems to go where

It's a fight to survive just until tomorrow

How can I display what I know I'm worthy of

When they turn me away

The doors are closed to such as I

A boy from nowhere

But not to those who merely buy

The right to go where

They are met with respect, not humiliation

A man's place on earth

It's decided

So it seems

From his moment of birth

Is there a future?

No matter where I go I will still belong...

In Andalusia

Where we don't know

Where the next meal coming from

Something's wrong

With every dawn

A child is born

A boy from nowhere

What chance has he

A boy like me

Who'll only go where

It's a fight to survive just until tomorrow

One more mouth to feed

And the way things are round there,

That's the last thing they need

There is a future

No matter where I go I will still belong

In Andalusia

Where good honest men grow weak

While the rich grow strong

But not for long

I'm bound to Spain, I won't remain

A boy from nowhere

There has to be a place for me

And I must go there

I refuse to be used a like million others

Not a man alive

Had to beg or steal or fight more than me to survive
