Ahí en esa orilla del mundo
There on that edge of the world
No duerme la maquiladora
The maquiladora does not sleep
De un desperdicio en la tierra
Of a waste on earth
El hijo del sol nació
The son of the sun was born
Que embrullo la curandera
What a mess the healer
Con trapos y yerbas sobo
With rags and herbs sobo
La piel de ese niño mulato
The skin of that mulatto child
Que pluma su piel brotó
What a feather the skin of him sprouted
¡O que maravilla es esta!
Oh how marvelous is this!
Lo que el TLC provocó de una raya imaginaria
What the FTA caused from an imaginary line
De un chivi chivi colo
Of a chivi chivi colo
Que un niño de ojos de luna
What a moon-eyed child
Palabra de flor cantó: 'Este mundo material
Flower Word sang: 'This material world
Solamente es pasajero'
It's only temporary
Flor de maíz el cielo te esta cuidando
Corn flower, the sky is taking care of you
Llano de lumbre la tierra que te parió
Plain with fire the land that gave birth to you
Espíritu de la tierra espíritu del mal
spirit of the earth spirit of evil
Espíritu de la suerte que tiene que caminar
lucky spirit you have to walk
