Song information On this page you can read the lyrics of the song El Bracero Fracasado , by - Lila Downs. Song from the album Border, in the genre ДжазEl Bracero Fracasado(original) |
| Cuando yo salí del rancho |
| No llevaba ni calzones |
| Pero si llegue a tijuana |
| De puritos aventones |
| Como no traía dinero |
| Me paraba en las esquinas |
| Para ver a quien gorreaba |
| Los pecuesos de gallina |
| Yo quería cruzar la línea |
| De la unión americana |
| Yo quería ganar dinero |
| Porque esa era mi tirada |
| Como no traía papeles |
| Mucho menos pasaportes |
| Me avente cruzando cerros |
| Yo solito y sin coyotes |
| Después verán como me fue: |
| Llegue a santa ana con las patas bien peladas |
| Los huaraches que llevaba se acabaron de volada |
| El sombrero y la camisa los perdí |
| En la correteada que me dieron |
| Unos «gueros» que ya mero me agarraban |
| Ya llegue a la carretera |
| Muerto de hambre y desvelado |
| Me subi en un tren carguero |
| Que venía de colorado |
| Y con rumbo a san francisco |
| De un vagón me fui colado |
| Pero con tan mala suerte |
| Que en salinas me agarraron |
| Después verán como me fue: |
| Llegó la migra de la mano me agarraron |
| Me decían no se que cosas que en inglés |
| Me regañaron me digeron los gabachos |
| «te rregresas pa' tu rancho» |
| Pero yo sentí buen gacho regresar pa' mi terruño |
| De bracero fracasado sin dinero y sin hilacho |
| De bracero fracasado sin dinero y aún hilacho… |
| (translation) |
| When I left the ranch |
| He wasn't even wearing panties |
| But if I get to Tijuana |
| Of hitchhiking |
| Since I didn't bring money |
| I stood on corners |
| To see who was gorreando |
| The chicken breasts |
| I wanted to cross the line |
| of the american union |
| I wanted to earn money |
| Because that was my throw |
| Since he didn't bring papers |
| Much less passports |
| I threw myself across hills |
| I alone and without coyotes |
| Then you will see how it went: |
| I arrived in Santa Ana with my legs well peeled |
| The huaraches that I was wearing were blown away |
| I lost the hat and the shirt |
| In the chase that they gave me |
| Some "gueros" who already grabbed me |
| I already hit the road |
| Starving and sleepless |
| I got on a freight train |
| who came from colorado |
| And heading to San Francisco |
| I was sneaked out of a wagon |
| But with such bad luck |
| that in salinas they caught me |
| Then you will see how it went: |
| The migra arrived by the hand they grabbed me |
| They told me I don't know what things in English |
| They scolded me, the frogs digested me |
| «you return to your ranch» |
| But I felt good to go back to my homeland |
| Of a failed bracero without money and without thread |
| Of a failed bracero with no money and still frayed… |
