Translation of the song lyrics El Corrido De David Y Goliat - Flor de Toloache

El Corrido De David Y Goliat (original)

Un gringo Goliat de nombre
Que se apellidaba O’Conner
Cuánto daño le hizo al pueblo
Que es que era gente del orden
Sólo se enlistó en la migra
Queriendo que te deporten
Sabía que la gente pobre
Las leyes no se las saben
Por eso abusaba tanto
Pescando que es que ilegales
Que en realidad no lo eran
Aliados los federales
Un día hubo una gran redada
En un barrio de latinos
Goliat con toda su tropa
Llegaron echando gritos
Para que todos salieran
Y deportarlos toditos
En una de tantas casas
Vivía David y su gente
Pero él sí sabía las leyes
Por eso no salió al frente
«Sin una orden de cateo
Oficial siga de frente»
Goliat se puso furioso
De un golpe tiró la puerta
A todos pidió papeles
«A mí todos me respetan»
David se negó a entregarlos
«Aquí entraron a la fuerza»
David su esposa y tres hijos
A todos se los llevaron
Manteniéndose en calma
Ningún papel lo firmaron
No respondieron preguntas
Aunque los amenazaron
David se había preparado
Por si eso algún día pasaba
Había hablado con su gente
Sus documentos guardaba
En un lugar bien seguro
Comunidad lo ayudaba
Los liberaron a todos
Ilegal era el arresto
Abogados ayudaron
Y no prosiguió en proceso
David se sabía las leyes
Y a Goliat lo despidieron

El Corrido De David Y Goliat (translation)

A gringo Goliath by name
His last name was O'Conner
How much damage did he do to the town
What is that they were people of the order
He just enlisted in the migra
wanting to be deported
I knew that poor people
The laws are not known
That's why he abused so much
Fishing that is that illegal
That they really weren't
allied the feds
One day there was a big raid
In a Latino neighborhood
Goliath with all his troops
They came screaming
for everyone to leave
And deport them all
In one of many houses
David and his people lived
But he did know the laws
That's why he didn't come forward
"Without a search warrant
Officer keep going»
Goliath was furious
With one blow he slammed the door
He asked everyone for papers
“Everyone respects me”
David refused to hand them over
“Here they entered by force”
David his wife and three children
They all took away
keeping calm
No paper was signed
They did not answer questions
Although they were threatened
David had prepared
In case that ever happened
He had talked to his people
The documents he kept
In a very safe place
Community helped him
they freed them all
Illegal was the arrest
lawyers helped
And he did not continue in process
David knew the laws
And Goliath got fired
