Sueño americano [English translation]

Three days, trekking under the open sky

Across the 120-degree desert

Latinos, in displays on each side

A hobby for snipers

In the shadows, the light paints California

With the blood of Hispanics on the quest for

The American dream

Water is gold on this journey

And hope, the only luggage I carry

My legs are shaking from weariness

As does my soul for the people I've left behind

I know that this is a path of no return

If it's life that awaits me, I'll make it through

Oh, miraculous Virgin Mary

The dark sierra is always dangerous

Light up my way with stars

For the border patrol is on my trail

Nameless graves

Falling bodies

For it's a slim few who make it

And a great many who leave

We are nobody on this soil

Already so many angels have died that God is grieving

Six years, living on this side

Here they call me undocumented

I work 18 hours a day

Fighting to bring my family across

I even pray on my knees every night

That this dream doesn't end in a nightmare

Oh, miraculous Virgin Mary

My mother is dead, and I haven't seen my wife

Loving from afar is so hard

And here they want to build us a wall

Trapped up north

The air hangs heavy

Without a visa one's passport is crossing into sadness

And I've already lost so much that I no longer fear fear itself

Ten years have gone by

My loved ones are finally with me

With tears, they've blossomed

My children are called dreamers

Looking carefully, we're not that far away

On the other side of the border

We are still human

If we don't wake up

If we don't react

We'll all have

Blood on our hands
