Lyrics and translation Tosin Martins - Why (Song for Street Children)

Why (Song for Street Children)

Watch out watch out when were about
Were cunning were bold and were quick
We'll nick your purse
We'll nab your bag
Be off in half a tick

Keep an eye on the peelers
Run from the hands of the law
They'll put you inside
In the blink of an eye
A lad has been hung before oh yes!
A lad has been hung before!

Watch out watch out when were about
Were orphans alone and were poor
And are little gang
Can outwit a man
And pick the lock on your door

Watch out Watch out when were about
We'll sleep in your doorway it's true
Were riddled with love
And were kind and were nice
And were happy to share them with you

Почему (Песня уличных детей)

Берегись, берегись, когда мы рядом,
Мы хитры, мы смелы и быстры.
Мы стащим твой кошелек,
Мы стянем твою сумку
И скроемся в мгновение ока.

Следи за легавыми,
Беги от рук закона,
Они посадят тебя,
В мгновение ока,
Парнишку уже повесили, да, да!
Парнишку уже повесили!

Берегись, берегись, когда мы рядом,
Мы сироты, одиноки и бедны.
И наша маленькая банда
Может перехитрить любого,
И взломать замок на твоей двери.

Берегись, берегись, когда мы рядом,
Мы будем спать на твоем пороге, это правда.
Но мы полны любви,
Мы добры и милы,
И мы будем рады поделиться этим с тобой.
