Select language to translate this lyric
I was barely 17
when I crossed the border
I promised my old lady
to get her out of poverty
the cold nights burned me
I almost drowned in the river
and those who suffered the same
I dedicate this run to you...
I am one of many Mexicans
who work day by day
to give a future to my children
br/>and help my family
how I miss my beloved ranch
my friends that I haven't forgotten
and my parents that I haven't seen for several years
seen...
They think that because I jumped the line
I'm a drug trafficker
enough of a thousand humiliations
just for being an Immigrant
I'm singing for all my people
br/>don't forget, keep it in mind
that those who were not wanted
are made presidents today...
(And although it hurts many
we are the majority
pure Caliber 50 listen)
The work here has been very hard
but I have never given up
and the things that I have achieved
with effort I have earned
and the one who went to the other side
and left his past in his country
who thought about that little boy
and look what he has achieved...
They have promised us so many things
and they have not given us anything
equality, respect, and tolerance
it is what my race asks for
I am singing for all my people
don't forget it, keep it in mind
br/>and those they didn't want
today they make them presidents...
