Translation of the song lyrics Clandestino - Manu Chao, Calypso Rose

Clandestino (original)

Correr es mi destino para burlar la ley
Perdido en el corazón de la grande Babylon
Me dicen «el clandestino» por no llevar papel
Pa' una ciudad del norte yo me fui a trabajar
Mi vida la dejé entre Ceuta y Gibraltar
Soy una raya en el mar, fantasma en la ciudad
Mi vida va prohibida, dice la autoridad
Solo voy con mi pena, sola va mi condena
Correr es mi destino por no llevar papel
Perdido en el corazón de la grande Babylon
Me dicen «el clandestino», yo soy el quiebra-ley
Mano negra clandestina
Peruano clandestino
Africano clandestino
Marihuana ilegal
Solo voy con mi pena, sola va mi condena
Correr es mi destino para burlar la ley
Perdido en el corazón de la grande Babylon
Me dicen «el clandestino» por no llevar papel
Argelino clandestino
Nigeriano clandestino
Boliviano clandestino
Mano negra ilegal

Clandestino (translation)

Running is my destiny to flout the law
Lost in the heart of great Babylon
They call me "the clandestine" for not having paper
For a northern city I went to work
I left my life between Ceuta and Gibraltar
I am a ray in the sea, ghost in the city
My life is prohibited, says the authority
I only go with my sorrow, I only go with my sentence
Running is my destiny for not carrying paper
Lost in the heart of great Babylon
They call me "the clandestine", I am the bankrupt-law
underground black hand
Clandestine Peruvian
underground african
illegal marijuana
I only go with my sorrow, I only go with my sentence
Running is my destiny to flout the law
Lost in the heart of great Babylon
They call me "the clandestine" for not having paper
underground algerian
underground nigerian
Clandestine Bolivian
illegal black hand
