América

To have been born in America is like a blessing
Land of beautiful images that gladden the heart
Mosaic of a thousand colors, beautiful women and flowers
For the peoples of America, I sing my song

(I am from America)
(I am from America)

From the color of the earth I was born
By heritage, my language is Spanish (from America)
The northerners say I am Latino (I am)
They don't want to call me American

I am a gaucho galloping through the pampas (from America)
I am Charrúa, I am Jíbaro Otomano (I am)
I am Chapín, Eskimo, Mayan Prince (from America)
I am Guajiro, I am Mexican Charro (I am)

If one born in Europe is European (from America)
And one born in Africa is African (I am)
I who was born in America and don't see
Why I shouldn't be American (from America)

Because America is the whole continent (I am)
And one born here is American
The color may be different (from America)
But as children of God, we are brothers (I am)

From Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador and Paraguay
Brazil, Chile and Costa Rica, El Salvador and Uruguay
Venezuela and Guatemala, Mexico, Cuba and Bahamas
All are Americans regardless of color

I am from America
I am from America
I am from America
I am from America
