Apenas tenia 17
I was barely 17
Cuando cruce la frontera
When i cross the border
Se lo prometí a mi viejesita
I promised my old lady
Sacarla de la pobreza
Lift her out of poverty
Me quemaban las noches de frio
The cold nights burned me
Por poquito me ahogaba en el rio
For a little while I drowned in the river
Y aquellos que sufrieron lo mismo
And those who suffered the same
Les dedico este corrido
I dedicate this run
Soy uno de tantos Mexicanos
I am one of many Mexicans
Que trabajan día con día
Who work day by day
Para darle futuro a mis hijos
To give my children a future
Y ayudar a mi familia
And help my family
Como extraño mi rancho querido
How I miss my dear ranch
Mis amigos que no los olvido
My friends that I do not forget
Y a mis viejos que hace varios años
And to my parents that several years ago
Que no los he visto
That I have not seen
Piensan que por que brinque la linea
They think that why I jump the line
Soy un narcotraficante
I am a drug dealer
Ya basta de mil humillaciones
Enough of a thousand humiliations
Nomas por ser 'Inmigrante'
Just for being an 'Immigrant'
Estoy cantando por toda mi gente
I'm singing for all my people
No lo olviden tenganlo presente
Do not forget keep it in mind
Que aquellos a los que no querían

Hoy los hacen presidentes

(Y aunque les duela a muchos
(And although it hurts many

El trabajo aquí ha sido muy duro
The work here has been very hard
Pero nunca me he rajado
But I've never cracked
Y las cosas que yo he conseguido
And the things that I have achieved
Con esfuerzo me he ganado
With effort I have earned
Y aquel que se fue pal otro lado
And the one who went to the other side
Y dejo en su país su pasado
And he left his past in his country
Quien pensaba de aquel muchachito
Who thought of that boy
Y miren lo que a logrado
And look what he has achieved
Nos han prometido tantas cosas
They have promised us so many things
Y no nos han dado nada
And they haven't given us anything
Igualdad, respeto, y tolerancia
Equality, respect, and tolerance
Es lo que pide mi raza
Is what my race asks
Estoy cantando por toda mi gente
I'm singing for all my people
No lo olviden tenganlo presente
Do not forget keep it in mind
Y aquellos a los que no querían
And those who did not want
Hoy los hacen presidentes
Today they are made presidents
