El Inmigrante - Calibre 50

Apenas tenia 17

cuando cruce la frontera

se lo prometi a mi viejesita

sacarla de la pobresa

me quemaban las noches de frio

por poquito me hogaba en el rio

y aquellos que sufrieron lo mismo

les dedico este corrido…

Soy uno de tantos Mexicanos

que trabajan dia con dia

para darle futuro a mis hijos

y ayudar a mi familia

como extraño mi rancho querido

mis amigos que no los olvido

y a mis viejos que hace varios años

que no los he visto…

Piensan que por que brinque la linea

soy un narcotraficante

ya basta de mil humillaciones

nomas por ser «Inmigrante»

estoy cantando por toda mi gente

no lo olviden tenganlo presente

que aquellos a los que no querian

hoy los hacen presidentes…

(Y haunque les duela a muchos

somos mayoria

puro Calibre 50 oiga)

El trabajo aqui ha sido muy duro

pero nunca me he rajado

y las cosas que yo he conseguido

con esfuerzo me he ganado

y aquel que se fue pal otro lado

y dejo en su pais su pasado

quien pensaba de aquel muchachito

y miren lo que a logrado…

Nos han prometido tantas cosas

y no nos han dado nada

igualdad, respeto, y tolerancia

es lo que pide mi raza

estoy cantando por toda mi gente

no lo olviden tenganlo presente

y aquellos a los que no querian

hoy los hacen presidentes…

I was barely 17

when i cross the border

I promised my old lady

get her out of poverty

the cold nights burned me

for a little while I was drowning in the river

and those who suffered the same

I dedicate this corrido to you…

I am one of many Mexicans

who work day by day

to give my children a future

and help my family

how I miss my dear ranch

my friends that I do not forget

and to my parents who several years ago

I haven't seen them...

They think that why jump the line

I am a drug dealer

Enough of a thousand humiliations

just for being "immigrant"

I'm singing for all my people

don't forget keep it in mind

that those they didn't love

Today they are made presidents...

(And although it hurts many

we are majority

pure Caliber 50 hey)

The work here has been very hard

but I have never cracked

and the things that I have achieved

with effort I have earned

and the one who went to the other side

and I leave his past in his country

who thought of that little boy

and look what he has achieved…

We have been promised so many things

and they have given us nothing

equality, respect, and tolerance

It is what my race asks for

I'm singing for all my people

don't forget keep it in mind

and those they didn't want

Today they are made presidents...
