Clandestino
Lila Downs
Clandestine
Alone I go with my sorrow
Alone goes my sentence
Running is my fate
To evade the law
Lost in the heart
Of the great Babylon
They call me clandestine
For not carrying papers
To a city up north
I went to work
I left my life
Between Tijuana and Baghdad
I'm a line in the sea
Ghost in the city
My life is forbidden
Says the authority
Alone I go with my sorrow
Alone goes my sentence
Running is my fate
For not carrying papers
Lost in the heart
Of the great Babylon
They call me clandestine
I am the lawbreaker
Peruvian, clandestine!
Honduran, clandestine!
Mexican, clandestine!
Marijuana, illegal!
If we don't fight for the children
What will become of us?
Alone I go with my sorrow
Alone goes my sentence
Running is my fate
To evade the law
Lost in the heart
Of the great Babylon
They call me clandestine
I am the lawbreaker
Venezuelan, clandestine!
Colombian, clandestine!
Sonoran, clandestine!
Border, illegal!
Chiapaneca, clandestine!
Guerrero, clandestine!
Nicaraguan, clandestine!
Salvadoran, illegal!
Bolivian, clandestine!
Oaxacan, clandestine!
Ecuadorian, clandestine!
From Jalisco, illegal!
