Vivencia is a group from Argentina that sang while I was there and I purchased an album. This was my favorite song from the album.

Pequeño pasajero
Un pequeño pasajero
se sube al tren
vendedor de caramelos
a dos por cien.
Va olvidando poco a poco
en el anden
su niñez
y su razón de ser.
Va dejando en cada asiento
su soledad
caramelos en paquetes
que piden pan.
Cada venta es un reproche
que viene y va
si cesar
hacia la humanidad.
El se siente capaz
de fumar o robar
no le asombra el dolor
no conoce el amor.
Muchos niños tienen
un tren para jugar
pero hay otro niño
con un tren de verdad
El no juega, sufre
la indiferencia y el mal
esta solo
con un tren de verdad.
Small Passenger
A small passenger
Boards the train
Seller of caramels,
Two for ten.
Bit by bit he forgets
On the platform
His youth,
And his reason for being.
He leaves in each seat
His loneliness,
Candy in packages
That asks for bread,
Each sale is a reproach
That comes and goes
Without stopping
Towards humanity.
He feels capable
Of smoking or stealing,
Pain doesn’t surprise him
He knows not love.
Many children have
A train with which to play
But there is another child
With a train for real.
He doesn’t play, he suffers
The indifference and the bad
He’s alone,
With his train for real.
