El Ilegal
Joan Sebastian
The Illegal
I didn't say goodbye to my friends
I said goodbye to my love and my parents
I cried alone, there were no witnesses
And only God knew my pain
And only God knew my pain
I arrived in the north without a penny
With pain I left my country
Oh, if the Rio Grande could speak
That I crossed on an old root
That I crossed on an old root
Texas Valley, Weslaco and San Antone
Houston, Dallas, they're in my song
Texas is Texas, very large in extension
But it fits here, in my heart
And I didn't say goodbye to the boys
But I already sent them a postcard
He says: Hello, bunch of drunks (seriously)
Your friend, the illegal one, misses you
Your friend, the illegal one, misses you
How beautiful is the American Union
Illinois, California and Tennessee
But there, in my Mexican land
A little piece of heaven is for me
A little piece of heaven is for me
Goodbye, Laredo, Weslaco and San Antone
Houston, Dallas, they're in my song
Goodbye, El Paso, I've arrived at Chamizal
His friend, the illegal one, returned
Your friend, the illegal one, is leaving
His friend, the illegal one, returned
Your friend, the illegal one, is leaving
