Dificil es caminar,
(its hard to walk)
en un extraño lugar
(in a strange place)
en donde el hambre se ve
(where hunger is seen)
como un circo en accion
(as a circus in action)
en las calles no hay telon
(the streets are a stage)
asi que puedes mirar
(so you can look)
como rico expectador
(like a rich spectator)
te invito a nuestra ciudad.
(welcome to my city).
En una esquina es muy facil
(in a street corner its easy)
que tu puedas ver
(for you to see)
a un niño que trabaja y finje sonreir
(a child who is working, and fakes his smile)
lanzado pelotas pa vivir
(juggling to live)
solo es otro mal payaso para ti
(for you he is just another bad clown)
tambien sin quererlo puedes ver
(without you wanting to you can see)
a un flaco extraño, gran fajin
(a strange skinny man, great illusionist)
que vive y vive sin comer
(who lives on without eating)
lanzando fuego
(throwing fire)
*chorus*
gran circo es esta ciudad
(this city is great big circus)
un alto un siga un alto, un alto un siga un alto
(stop go stop, stop go stop)
Es magico este lugar
(this place is magical)
mientras mas pobreza hay
(while there is more poverty)
mas alegria se ve
(more happiness is seen)
en las calles hay color
(streets are filled with color)
no falta algun saxofon
(a saxophone is not missing)
al terminar la funcion
(when the show is over)
alla en el palco de honor
(in the seat of honor)
nadie podra ya reir
(no one will be able to laugh)
nadie podra ya reir
(no one will be able to laugh
reir
(laugh)
reir
(laugh)
reir
(laugh)
*chorus*
