Lyrics of Cesar Chavez - Los Tigres Del Norte

Cesar Chavez (original)

No habia quien defendiera al campesino
ni al mas minimo derecho conseguia
de las actas laborales excluidos
su derecho como humano no existia
Y aunque no quieras
creeer querido amigo
esto sucedio
en los estados unidos.
Pero el lider de la union de campesinos
25 dias estuvo sin comer
y tambien como lo estados vecinos
al fin tuvo California que ceder
Y aunque no quieras
creeer querido amigo
esto sucedio
en los estados unidos.
Cesar Chavez Cesar Chavez el caudillo
a quien los agricultores tienen miedo
no necesito pistolas ni cuchillos
pero sus demandas se le consedieron
24 dias en el 75
promulgar la ley agricola valieron.
Pero cuando los contratos se vencian
los patrones y otras uniones se aliaron
y a los miles llevaron la policia
y con sangre de inocente los regaron.
y aunque no quieras
creer querido amigo
esto sucedio
en los estaods unidos…
Protestando contra los desinfectantes
Chavez hace huelga por tercera vez
por querer salvar la de sus semejantes
el su vida casi tuvo que perder
y aunque no quieraas
creer quierido amigo
esto sucedio
en los estados unidos.
Cesar Chavez Cesar Chavez Cesar Chavez
como Martin Luther King yo te comparo
por si tu no lo sabias ya lo sabes
tienes un lugar en el cielo apartado
y en tu honor an de cantar un dias la avez
cuando el campo ya no este contaminado…

(translation)

There was no one to defend the peasant
I couldn't even get the slightest right
of labor records excluded
his right to him as a human did not exist
And even if you don't want
believe dear friend
this happened
in the U.S.
But the leader of the peasant union
25 days he was without eating
and also as neighboring states
in the end he had California to give in
And even if you don't want
believe dear friend
this happened
in the U.S.
Cesar Chavez Cesar Chavez the caudillo
who farmers are afraid of
I don't need guns or knives
but his demands were granted
24 days in 75
enact the farm bill were worth.
But when the contracts expire
the bosses and other unions allied themselves
and the thousands brought the police
and with innocent blood they watered them.
and even if you don't want
believe dear friend
this happened
in the United States…
Protesting against disinfectants
Chavez goes on strike for the third time
for wanting to save the lives of their peers
his life he almost had to lose
and even if you don't want to
believe dear friend
this happened
in the U.S.
Cesar Chavez Cesar Chavez Cesar Chavez
like Martin Luther King I compare you
in case you didn't know, you already know
you have a secluded place in heaven
and in your honor I will sing one day at a time
when the field is no longer contaminated…
