Me Vine Pa'l Norte

I came to the north
Looking for a future
With a hope of getting here
Crossing between poverty but I do not regret it
I feel proud I am poor and happy
Years passed and I was in poverty
I went out there to find life
And on the borders I met the people
Who risk their lives to get here

And now on this side I am disillusioned
What is suffered from lack of English
And with my poverty my most faithful friend
Working hard made me understand

I thank God for everything in this life
Although I was very poor, I lacked nothing
Of great flavors
I keep memories
Memories that I carry in my heart

I worked very hard helping my parents
Well, these are the customs
That the old man gave me
And when the holidays
They came from the village
Singing and dancing
I was happy

And now on this side I am disillusioned
What is suffered from lack of English
And with my poverty my most faithful friend
Working hard made me understand
