Pedro wakes in the morning Sun is shining, the birds are singing Other children are calling The gang's all here and there's no time for waiting As they run down the alley, merchants sort their fare Preparing for the day, they wait for today's first pay Not impatient not eager, they're familiar with the meter of Just another day in the streets of San José They sing A-oom, a-oom, buenos dias A-oom, a-oom, como estais A-oom, a-oom, how is your family A-oom, a-oom, so good to see you today Pedro knows it's time to go home now The sun is sinking, the birds have stopped singing Other childrens' mothers are calling At home they know a meal will be bubbling As they run down la calle, musicians fill the air With songs of love, songs of love and despair Conqueros, charangos, all sensing the tempos of Just another night in San José's light They sing A-oom, a-oom, buenas noches A-oom, a-oom, hasta mañana A-oom, a-oom, time to go home now? A-oom, a-oom, just sing one more song for me
