Streets of London
Ralph McTell
Have you seen the old man
In a closed-down market?
Kicking up the paper
With his worn out shoes
In his eyes, you see no pride
And held loosely at his side
Yesterday's paper
Telling yesterday's news
So, how can you tell me you're lonely?
And say for you that the sun don't shine?
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
Show you something to make you change your mind
Have you seen the old girl
Who walks the streets of London?
Dirt in her hair
And her clothes in rags
She's no time for talking
She just keeps right on walking
Carrying her home
In two carrier bags
So, how can you tell me you're lonely?
And say for you that the sun don't shine?
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something to make you change your mind
In the all night café
At a quarter past eleven
Same old man
Sitting there on his own
Looking at the world
Over the rim of his teacup
Each tea lasts an hour
And he wanders home alone
So, how can you tell me you're lonely?
Don't say for you that the sun don't shine
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
Show you something to make you change your mind
Have you seen the old man
Outside the seaman's mission?
Memory fading with
The medal ribbons that he wears
In our winter city
The rain cries a little pity
For one more forgotten hero
And a world that doesn't care
So, how can you tell me you're lonely?
And say for you that the sun don't shine?
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
Show you something to make you change your mind
Have you seen the old man
¿Has visto al anciano
In a closed-down market?
En un mercado cerrado?
Kicking up the paper
Pateando el papel
With his worn out shoes
Con sus zapatos gastados
In his eyes, you see no pride
En sus ojos, no ves orgullo
And held loosely at his side
Y sujeto con flojedad a su lado
Yesterday's paper
El periódico de ayer
Telling yesterday's news
Contando las noticias de ayer
So, how can you tell me you're lonely?
Entonces, ¿cómo puedes decirme que estás solo?
And say for you that the sun don't shine?
¿Y decir que para ti el sol no brilla?
Let me take you by the hand
Permíteme tomar tu mano
And lead you through the streets of London
Y guiarte por las calles de Londres
Show you something to make you change your mind
Mostrarte algo para que cambies de opinión
Have you seen the old girl
¿Has visto a la anciana
Who walks the streets of London?
Que camina por las calles de Londres?
Dirt in her hair
Suciedad en su cabello
And her clothes in rags
Y su ropa en harapos
She's no time for talking
No tiene tiempo para hablar
She just keeps right on walking
Simplemente sigue caminando
Carrying her home
Llevando su hogar
In two carrier bags
En dos bolsas de la compra
So, how can you tell me you're lonely?
Entonces, ¿cómo puedes decirme que estás solo?
And say for you that the sun don't shine?

At a quarter past eleven
A las once y cuarto
Same old man
El mismo anciano
Sitting there on his own
Sentado allí solo
Looking at the world
Mirando al mundo
Over the rim of his teacup
Sobre el borde de su taza de té
Each tea lasts an hour
Cada té dura una hora
And he wanders home alone
Y él vuelve a casa solo
So, how can you tell me you're lonely?
Entonces, ¿cómo puedes decirme que estás solo?
Don't say for you that the sun don't shine
No digas que para ti el sol no brilla
Let me take you by the hand
Permíteme tomar tu mano

Y guiarte por las calles de Londres
Show you something to make you change your mind
Mostrarte algo para que cambies de opinión
Have you seen the old man

Outside the seaman's mission?
Fuera de la misión del marinero?
Memory fading with
Memoria desvaneciéndose con
The medal ribbons that he wears
Las cintas de medallas que lleva
In our winter city
En nuestra ciudad invernal
The rain cries a little pity
La lluvia llora un poco de lástima
For one more forgotten hero
Por un héroe más olvidado
And a world that doesn't care
Y un mundo que no le importa
So, how can you tell me you're lonely?
