| Long ago I became a citizen
|
| From United States
|
| And I was able to emigrate
|
| To my parents and siblings
|
| I joined the armed forces
|
| to stand out
|
| and be able to do
|
| The American dream
|
| I received the news with value
|
| that I already felt
|
| The war, the destiny
|
| what was coming to me
|
| My mother's crying hurt me a lot
|
| That hug from my father
|
| As clinging to his puppy
|
| To save his life.
|
| I lived very happy
|
| With my family aside
|
| But I knew very well
|
| what was my job
|
| What ironies of life
|
| that american dream
|
| He took me away from my family
|
| He took me to a distant country
|
| To fight for political conflicts
|
| To kill human beings.
|
| Today by law I am an American Soldier
|
| But actually I am Inca, I am Catracho
|
| I'm Puerto Rican, I'm Chapin
|
| I am 100% Mexican
|
| I am Guerrero, I am Latino, I am Hispanic
|
| If I was not afraid of the fury of the desert and the Rio Bravo
|
| I'm not afraid of the enemy
|
| I'm not afraid of the devil
|
| So that you know what we are made of
|
| Mr. president
|
| Send me to the front.
|
| I do not take my destiny
|
| By my blood I am brave
|
| But if I wanted to go back to my people.
|
| What ironies of life
|
| that american dream
|
| He took me away from my family
|
| He took me to a distant country
|
| To fight for political conflicts
|
| To kill human beings.
|
| Today by law I am an American Soldier
|
| But actually I am Inca, I am Catracho
