Children with dirty faces
With bare feet
Playing and laughing
In their yards!
Children waiting
For a small lizard
To fall into his trap
Who mistakenly wandered into his space
Children with their kites
They run with their bare feet
Bathing in the rain
With their dirty faces
With their bare feet
Splashing the water
That falls from the roofs
Those children
With dirty faces
With bare feet
They make their parents happy
In their neighborhoods!
Those children are the gift
Most precious that they have in their houses
In their neighborhoods
In poverty
Where they live
Through those neighborhoods
Those kids with dirty faces
With their bare feet
And with their smiles they cheer
Giving joy
In your neighborhoods!
It’s the kids with the dirty faces
And their bare feet
