"The Kids Are not Alright" by The Offspring, Spanish translation 
  "Children Are Not Good"  
 
   When We Were Young  the future Was So bright, WAS 
 The old neighborhood so alive, 
 and Every kid on the whole damn street Was gonna make it 
 big and Not Be Beat.  
 
 When we were young, the future was so bright, 
 The old neighborhood was so alive And every kid 
 in the whole damn street 
 was going to make his fortune and not be overcome. 
 
  Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn, 
 The Kids are grown up Their Lives Are But worn, 
 how can one little street Swallow 
 So Many Lives?  
 
 Now the neighborhood is cracked and broken, 
 The children have grown up but their lives have been spent 
 How Could 
 a little street swallow so many lives? 
 
  Chorus: ---------------------------------------  
 
  Chances Thrown , 
 Nothing's free, 
 Longing For What Used To Be. Still 
 it's hard, 
 Hard to see, 
 Fragile lives, shattered dreams. Opportunities  
 
 fanned, 
 Nothing is free, 
 Longing for what once was. 
 still difficult, 
 Hard to see, 
 Fragile lives, dreams burst. --------------------------------------- 
 
 
  Jamie Had a chance, well she really did. 
 Instead, she dropped out and Had a couple of kids. 
 Mark still lives at home 'cause he's got no job. 
 He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot.  
 
 Louie had a chance, really I do. 
 Instead tube left school and a few children. Marco 
 still lives home because he has no job. 
 just plays guitar and smokes a lot of ganja. Jay 
 
  Committed Suicide, OD'd and Brandon 
 Died, 
 What the hell is going on? 
 The cruelest dream, reality.  
 
 Jay committed suicide, Brandon 
 sobredoseó and died, 
 What the hell is happening? 
 The cruelest dream, reality. 
 
 [Chorus] 
 
 [Chorus] 
 
   Notes:   
 
  Brandon OD'd and Brandon Died  
 sobredoseó and died 
 
 = OD = overdose overdose 
 
 The "'d' after "OD" means a verb because it follows the pattern of English verbs ending in "-ed."
