Ice, water frozen solid
Ice, water frozen solid
Ice, Immigration Customs Enforcement
Ice, Immigration Customs Enforcement
Eva pasando el trapo sobre la mesa ahí está
Eva passing the cloth on the table there it is
Cuidando que todo brille como una perla
Taking care that everything shines like a pearl
Cuando llegue la patrona, que no se vuelva quejar
When the boss arrives, that she does not complain again
No sea cosa que la acuse de ilegal
It is not something that accuses her of illegal
José atiende los jardines, parecen de disneyland
José takes care of the gardens, they look like Disneyland
Maneja una troca vieja sin la licencia
Drive an old truck without a license
No importa si fue taxista allá en su tierra natal
It doesn't matter if he was a taxi driver back in his homeland
Eso no cuenta para el tío Sam
That doesn't count for Uncle Sam
El hielo anda suelto por esas calles
The ice is loose in those streets
Nunca se sabe cuando nos va tocar
You never know when it's going to touch us
Ahora los niños lloran a la salida
Now the children cry on the way out
Lloran al ver que no llegará mamá
They cry when they see that mom will not arrive
Uno se queda aquí, otro se queda allá
One stays here, another stays there.
Eso pasa por salir a trabajar
That happens when you go to work
Marta llegó de niña y sueña con estudiar
Marta arrived as a child and dreams of studying
Pero se le hace difícil sin los papeles
But she finds it difficult without the papers
Se quedan con los laureles los que nacieron acá
Those who were born here remain with the laurels
Pero ella nunca deja de luchar
But she never stops fighting
El hielo anda suelto por esas calles
The ice is loose in those streets
Nunca se sabe cuando nos va tocar
You never know when it's going to touch us
Ahora los niños lloran a la salida
Now the children cry on the way out
Lloran al ver que no llegará mamá
They cry when they see that mom will not arrive
Uno se queda aquí, otro se queda allá
One stays here, another stays there.
Eso pasa por salir a trabajar
That happens when you go to work
