| When I came from my land El Salvador
|
| With the intention of reaching the United States
|
| I knew I'd need more than courage
|
| I knew that maybe it was on the way
|
| There are three borders that I had to cross
|
| I was undocumented through three countries
|
| Three times I had my life to risk
|
| That's why they say I'm three times wet
|
| In Guatemala and Mexico when I crossed
|
| Twice I was saved, they made me a prisoner
|
| The same language and color I reflected
|
| How is it possible that they call me a foreigner?
|
| In Central America, given its situation both politically and economically
|
| For many, there is no other solution than to leave their homeland, perhaps,
|
| forever
|
| The Mexican takes two steps and here he is, today they kick him out and the next day he is on
|
| Return
|
| That is a luxury that I cannot afford without being killed or imprisoned
|
| Mexico is beautiful, but how much I suffered
|
| Going through it without papers is very hard
|
| The five thousand kilometers that I traveled
|
| I can say that I remember them one by one
|
| For Arizona they told me "you will cross"
|
| And that I throw myself in the middle of the desert
|
| Luckily a Mexican called Juan
|
| He shook my hand, if he wasn't dead
|
| Now that I finally achieved legalization
|
| What I suffered I have more than recovered
|
| I dedicate my song to the wet ones
|
| And those who, like me, are wet three times |
