Текст и перевод песни Endecah - Joel (Remix)

Joel (Remix)

Siempre le dijo que mirara hacia adelante
Que se mostrara tan fuerte como alegre y elegante
Que cambiaría el mundo si lograba ser valiente
Y que el talento no es bastante cuando el esfuerzo está ausente

Cada día que despierta recuerda esas palabras
Se las dijo para que brillara como ella brillaba
Para hacer de él el hombre que la familia esperaba
Para que cuidara de ellos mientras su hermana lloraba

El pequeño principito con zapatillas de trapo
Con las manos siempre sucias y vistiendo con harapos
Dando todo por los suyos aunque necesitan poco
El pequeño no descansa quiere estar bajo los focos

Quiere hacerlo todo por su familia y por su apodo
Por dejar de depender de su padrastro beodo
Por dejar fuera los gritos y excluir los malos modos
Por comenzar todos juntos otro bonito periodo

Hasta entonces mucho queda, solo pueden esperar
A que la suerte les llegue pero todo sigue igual
Otra paliza a mamá, una mudanza, otra vez más
Él escribe sus canciones para poder olvidar

Van pasando las semanas pero nada allí mejora
La necesidad aflora y ahora le toca ayudar
El pequeño no es tan chico, ha comenzado a trabajar
Los estudios no alimentan y menos lo de cantar

Soñaba con cuidar de su familia y su gente
Con cantar esas canciones para poder mantenerles
Con acariciar de noche sólo la tranquilidad
Con comprarles una casa para tener un hogar
Sólo pensaba en su bien pero la vida no es fácil
A veces pone pruebas si tu pareces ser frágil
Cuando el hambre llama todo vale, te envía señales
Y te cambia cada plato por eternos cardenales

El pequeño ha madurado, ya ha roto sus ilusiones
El trabajo no es bastante, ya ha olvidado sus canciones
Comenzó el turno de noche, le toca distribuir
No quería mas veía que no podría seguir

Tuvo que torcer sus pasos, al menos pueden comer
Se deja la vida en calles para poder mantener
A su madre y a su hermana que se va haciendo mujer
Lo da todo sin dudar y lo volvería a hacer

Las palizas han cambiado pero su madre aún llora
Su padrastro se ha marchado pero no todo mejora
Cada día se hace eterno mientras se alargan las horas
Vivir así es morir en vida no es una metáfora

Quiero hacerte ver que no siempre es tan fácil
Que a veces no hay opciones entre las que escoger
Que no puedes juzgar nada sin antes conocer
Porque podrías ser tú en lugar de ser Joel

Джоэл (Ремикс)

She always told him to look forward
To show himself as strong as he was cheerful and elegant
That he would change the world if he could be brave
And that talent is not enough when effort is absent

Every day he wakes up remembering those words
She told him so that he would shine as she did
To make him the man his family expected
To take care of them while their sister cried

The little prince with sneakers made of cloth
With dirty hands and dressed in rags
Giving everything for his own, although they need little
The little one does not rest, he wants to be under the spotlight

He wants to do everything for his family
To stop being dependent on his drunken stepfather
To leave out the screams and remove the bad manners
To start a new beautiful period, all together

Until then, a lot is still to be done, they can only wait
For luck to come to them, but everything remains the same
Another beating for mom, another move, once again
He writes his songs to forget

Weeks go by but nothing improves there
Need arises and now it's his turn to help
The little one is not so small anymore, he has started to work
Study does not feed, and neither does singing

He dreamed of taking care of his family and his people
Of singing those songs to support them
Of caressing only peace at night
Of buying them a house to have a home
He only thought about their well-being, but life is not easy
Sometimes, it tests you if you seem fragile
When hunger calls, anything goes, it sends signals to you
And it changes every meal for eternal bruises

The little one has grown up, he has already broken his illusions
The job is not enough, he has already forgotten his songs
He started the night shift, he has to distribute
He didn't want to, but he could see that he couldn't go on

He had to change his ways, at least they can eat
He spends his life in the streets to support
His mother and his sister, who is becoming a woman
He gives everything without hesitation and would do it again

The beatings have changed, but his mother still cries
His stepfather is gone, but not everything is better
Every day becomes eternal while the hours go by
Living like this is dying in life, it is not a metaphor

I want to make you see that it's not always that easy
That sometimes there are no options to choose from
That you cannot judge anything without first knowing
Because you could be the one instead of being Joel
