These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
No pude cruzar la raya, se me atravesó el Río Bravo
I couldn't cross the line, the Rio Grande crossed my
Me aprendieron malamente, cuando viví al otro lado
They taught me badly, when I lived on the other side
Los dólares son bonitos, pero yo soy Mexicano
Dollars are nice, but I'm Mexican
No tenía tarjeta verde, cuando trabaje en Louisiana
I didn't have a green card when I worked in Louisiana
En un sótano viví, porque era espalda mojada
I lived in a basement, because it was wet back.
Tuve que inclinar la frente, para cobrar la semana
I had to bow my forehead, to collect the week
Las rosas de Mexicali, y la sangre en el Río Bravo
The Roses of Mexicali, and the Blood in the Rio Grande
Son dos cosas diferentes, pero en color son hermanos
They are two different things, but in color they are brothers.
Y la línea, divisoria, es la tumba del mojado
And the line, dividing, is the tomb of the wet
La cerca de la tortilla, es ofensa para el pueblo
The fence of the tortilla, is offense to the people
En México se pasean, Franceses, Chinos y Griegos
In Mexico they walk, French, Chinese and Greeks
Y algunos americanos, son caciques de los pueblos
And some Americans are chiefs of the towns.
Las rosas de Mexicali, y la sangre en el Río Bravo
The Roses of Mexicali, and the Blood in the Rio Grande
Son dos cosas diferentes, pero en color son hermanos

Y la línea, divisoria, es la tumba del mojado
And the line, dividing, is the tomb of the wet
