Igual que un niño abandonado
Just like an abandoned child
Que en la calle lo han dejado
Who has been left in the street
Yo te busco, ¡desesperado!
I look for you, desperate!
Necesito un amigo
I need a friend
Necesito que alguien quiera hablar conmigo
I need someone to want to talk with me
Cuando empieza a amanecer
When daybreak begins
La verdad es tan cruel
The truth is so cruel
Y tú lo sabes, eres testigo
And you know it, you are a witness
Ahora soy un mendigo
Now I am a beggar
Que camina por las calles perdido
Who walks lost through the streets
No me siento bien
I don't feel well
(no, no me siento bien)
(no, I don't feel well)
Hoy perdí la fe
Today I lost faith
La suerte juega con cartas sin marcar
Luck plays with unmarked cards
No se puede cambiar

Did you like this lyrics translation?
mendigo — beggar
Mendigo translates to "beggar". It's a striking and somewhat dramatic word that isn't commonly found in everyday song lyrics, making it memorable.
In the context of the song, the narrator uses mendigo metaphorically to express his profound sense of loss and desperation after being abandoned. He feels as if he has nothing left and is reduced to begging for connection, mirroring the vulnerability and helplessness of a child left alone.
