Lyrics of Paula's poor boy

Poor boy

With a dream

I came to this strange city

Travel through the streets during the day

Sleep in the dark basement at night

My life is hard, tired and hard

But that's the cold reality

Working for many years

Still earning a living wage

Can't afford a decent gift

To my beloved swallow

I don't know what the future will be like

I'm helpless. I'm helpless

I am a poor boy

I am a poor boy

Persist and dare not give up

In the company where I make a living

Sweat for an order

Youth is broken into grains of sand

My mother said I was black, thin and old

I said it was the same as before

Go out to work

Just for cars, houses and tickets

My aging parents

Live a carefree life

I don't know what's ahead

I try and try again

I am a poor boy

I am a poor boy

With a dream

I came to this strange city

Travel through the streets during the day

Sleep in the dark basement at night

My life is hard, tired and hard

But that's the cold reality

Working for many years

Still earning a living wage

Can't afford a decent gift

To my beloved swallow

I don't know what the future will be like

I'm helpless. I'm helpless

I am a poor boy

I am a poor boy

Persist and dare not give up

In the company where I make a living

Sweat for an order

Youth is broken into grains of sand

My mother said I was black, thin and old

I said it was the same as before

Go out to work

Just for cars, houses and tickets

My aging parents

Live a carefree life

I don't know what's ahead

I try and try again

I am a poor boy

I am a poor boy
