La Tumba Del Mojado(original) |
No pude cruzar la raya |
Se me atravesó el río bravo |
Me aprehendieron malamente |
Cuando vivía en el otro lado |
Los dólares son bonitos |
Pero yo soy mexicano |
No tenía tarjeta verde |
Cuando trabajé en luisiana |
En un sótano viví |
Porque era espalda mojada |
Tuve que inclinar la frente |
Para cobrar la semana |
La rosa de mexicali |
Y la sangre del río bravo |
Son dos cosas diferentes |
Pero en color son hermanos |
Y la línea divisoria |
Es la tumba del mojado |
La cerca de la torquilla |
Es ofensa para el pueblo |
En méxico se pasean |
Franceses, chinos y griegos |
Y algunos americanos |
Son caciques en los pueblos |
La rosa de mexicali |
Y la sangre del río bravo |
Son dos cosas diferentes |
Pero en color son hermanos |
Y la línea divisoria |
Es la tumba del mojado |
(translation) |
I couldn't cross the line |
I crossed the bravo river |
I was badly apprehended |
When I lived on the other side |
dollars are nice |
but i'm mexican |
I did not have a green card |
when i worked in louisiana |
I lived in a basement |
because it was wetback |
I had to bow my head |
to charge the week |
The Rose of Mexicali |
And the blood of the brave river |
They are two different things |
But in color they are brothers |
and the dividing line |
It is the grave of the wet |
The fence of the torquilla |
It is an offense to the people |
In Mexico they walk |
French, Chinese and Greeks |
and some americans |
They are caciques in the towns |
The Rose of Mexicali |
And the blood of the brave river |
They are two different things |
But in color they are brothers |
and the dividing line |
It is the grave of the wet |
