Friend, listen to what I'm saying
Amigo escuche lo que le estoy diciendo
I can't take this suffering anymore
Yo no aguanto mas este sufrimiento
And even if an uncertain future awaits
Y aunque me toque un futuro incierto
I'm leaving here, I swear I won't return
Yo me voy de aquí, le juro que ya no vuelvo
I leave my family behind
Dejo atrás a mi familia
My dear old folks
A mis queridos viejos
It's for them that I take this risk
Si es por ello que corro este riesgo
If for some reason I lose my life
Si por alguna razón la vida pierdo
Tell them all how much I love them
Dile a todos ellos cuanto los quiero
(Don't cry, dear mother, I'm going to seek a future)
(No llores viejita que me voy a buscar un futuro)
(Blow, Ronald)
(Sopla Ronald)
It's been two years in this new town
Ya son dos años en este Nuevo pueblo
And like a thief, they have me running
Y como un ladrón me tienen corriendo
This freedom, I swear I don't understand
Esta libertad le juro que yo no entiendo
I work day and night and hardly sleep
Trabajo día y noche y casi no duermo
How can it be that I'm still suffering here
Como puede ser que aquí yo sigo sufriendo
Without this brute government caring
Sin importarle a este bruto gobierno
Why I left my country, I no longer remember
Porque me fui de mi país ya no recuerdo
This can't be the American dream
Este no puede ser el American sueño
They push me and push me but I don't fall
Me empujan y me empujan pero no me caigo
Oh, they push me and push me and they won't knock me down, no, no
Ay, me empujan y me empujan y no me van a tumbar no, no
They push me and push me but I don't fall
Me empujan y me empujan pero no me caigo
I'm seeking the money to feed my home
Voy en busca del billete para alimentar mi hogar
They push me and push me but I don't fall
Me empujan y me empujan pero no me caigo
My dear mother wanted, tell me, who will care for her, my friend, who will it be
Mi madresita quería dime, quien la va a cuidar, pana mio quien sera
They push me and push me but I don't fall
Me empujan y me empujan pero no me caigo
Immigration chases me and I don't know what will happen
Imigracion me persigue y no se que pasara
(The metals of excellence also complain)
(Los metales de la excelencia también se quejan)
(Lament of the emigrant)
(Lamento del emigrante)
I don't know why they chase me if I came to work (No, I don't fall)
No se porque me persiguen si yo vine a trabajar (No, no me caigo)
I didn't come to harm them
Yo no vine a hacerles daño
Nor did I come to steal (No, I don't fall)
Tampoco vine a robar (No, no me caigo)
I just want the money to feed my home (No, I don't fall)
Solo quiero el billete para alimentar mi hogar (No, no me caigo)
I tell you, sir, I didn't come to do harm (No, I don't fall)
Yo te digo caballero que yo no vine a hacer mal (No, no me caigo)
I just want respect, I came here to seek (No, I don't fall)
Solo quiero que respeten, que yo vine aquí a buscar (No, no me caigo)
A more secure future for my children and my home (No, I don't fall)
Un futuro más seguro pa' mis hijos y mi hogar (No, no me caigo)
Don't knock me down, I don't want to and I won't back down (No, I don't fall)
Que no me tumben, que no quiero y no me voy a raja (No, no me caigo)
What wickedness with the government,
Que maldad con el gobierno,
After so much work, they just want to abuse me
Después tanto trabajo solo me quiere abusar
(No, I don't fall)
(No, no me caigo)
Don't worry my friend (No, I won't fall)
No se preocupe panita (No, no me caigo)
They say God squeezes but doesn't choke (No, I won't fall)
Dicen que Dios aprieta pero no ahorca (No, no me caigo)
(No, I won't fall)
(No, no me caigo)
(No, I won't fall)
(No, no me caigo)
I don't believe in War
Yo no creo en Guerra
Yet I know that believing only in peace
Sin embargo yo sé que creer solamente en la paz
Would be ignoring the injustices in our lands
Seria ignorar las injusticias que existen en nuestras tierras
Ignoring the injustices in our society
Ignorar las injusticias que existen en nuestra sociedad
And for that reason and that reason alone
Y por esa razón y esa razón única
I raise a fist in the air to shout resistance
Levanto un puño al aire a gritar resistencia
Against a system that only wants to silence me
Contra un sistema que solamente me quiere callar
End.
End.
