They already yelled at me a thousand times
That I go back to my land
Because I don't fit here
I want to remind the gringo
I didn't cross the border, the border crossed me
America was born free, man divided it
They drew the line
So that I would jump it
And they call me invader
That is a clear mistake
They took eight states from us
Who's the invader here
I'm a foreigner in my land and I'm not coming to give them war
I'm a working man
And if history doesn't lie
Here the glory settled, the mighty nation
Among brave warriors, Indians from two continents
Mixed with Spanish
And if we go back through the centuries, we're more American
We're more American than the son of the Anglo-Saxon
They bought the waters of the Rio Bravo from us without money
And they took Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado from us
California flew away too, and with Nevada and Utah they weren't satisfied
They also snatched the state of Wyoming from us
I'm the blood of the Indian, I'm Latino, I'm mestizo
We're of every color and of every trade
And if we count the centuries, even if it hurts the neighbor
We're more American than every single gringo
And if history doesn't lie
Here the glory settled, the mighty nation
Among brave warriors, Indians from two continents
Mixed with Spanish
And if we go back through the centuries, we're more American
We're more American than the son of the Anglo-Saxon
