Es Dificil Ser Moreno - Los Miserables traduction en anglais

Es Dificil Ser Moreno

Soy moreno, moreno en Chile
Un crimen por donde lo mires
Correr en la calle ya es un delito
Y nunca me fume ni un solo pito

Nací tan pobre como el señor
Un paco fue mi único doctor
Tome purita fui al consultorio
Me lave el pelo en un lavatorio

Jugué con barro, pille gallinas
Corrí a pata pela' por las esquinas
La pichanga con pelota de plástico
Abríamos grifos para bañarnos

Si paso al lado de un auto lindo
Quieren que yo limpie los vidrios
Si eres moreno en una tienda
Todos quieren que los atiendas

Si eres moreno en Viña del Mar
Dan por seguro que vas a robar
Si un rubio corre es deportista,
Un moreno corre es extremista

Es difícil ser moreno
Pobre y de pelo tieso
Mas difícil es aun
Moreno rojo de sangre azul

Llego atrasado a todas las modas
Porque mi sueldo es como las bolas
Siempre uso ropa europea
Porque la compro en la calle bandera

Si me paro afuera del metro
Todos quieren comprarme boletos
Si uso terno me veo hermoso
Algunos dicen que parezco mozo

Es difícil ser moreno
Pobre y de pelo tieso
Mas difícil es aun
Moreno rojo de sangre azul

It's Hard Being Black

I'm black, black in Chile
It's a crime no matter how you look at it
Running down the street is already a crime
And I never even smoked a single joint

I was born as poor as a lord
A cop was my only doctor
I took pure water and went to the clinic
I washed my hair in a sink

I played with mud, I stole chickens
I ran around barefoot through the streets
I played soccer with a plastic ball
We turned on faucets to take baths

If I walk by a nice car
They want me to clean the windows
If you're black in a store
Everyone wants you to wait on them

If you're black in Viña del Mar
They take it for granted that you're going to steal
If a blond runs, he's an athlete,
If a black guy runs, he's an extremist

It's hard being black
Poor and with coarse hair
Even harder
To be black and red with blue blood

I'm always late to follow the latest trends
Because my salary is like balls
I always wear European clothes
Because I buy them on Bandera Street

If I stand outside the subway
Everyone wants to buy me tickets
If I wear a suit, I look handsome
Some say I look like a waiter

It's hard being black
Poor and with coarse hair
Even harder
To be black and red with blue blood
