Somos Más Americanos

They've shouted at me a thousand times to go back
To my land because I don't fit here
I want to remind the gringo: I didn't
Cross the border, the border crossed me
America was born free, man divided it

They drew the line so that I
Would jump it and they call me an invader
It's a clear mistake, they took away
Eight states from us. Who's the invader here?

I'm a foreigner in my land, and I don't come
To give them war. I'm a hardworking man

And if history doesn't lie
Here sat in glory
The powerful nation
Brave warrior men
Indians from two continents
Mixed with Spanish

And if we go back centuries
We are more American
We are more American
Than the Anglo-Saxon son

They bought without money the waters of the Rio
Bravo and took away from us Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and Colorado
California also flew and Nevada
With Utah they weren't satisfied
They also snatched away Wyoming

I am the blood of the Indian
I am Latino, I am mixed
We are of all colors and all trades
And even if it hurts the neighbor
We are more American
We are more American than all the gringos

And if history doesn't lie
Here sat in glory
The powerful nation
Brave warrior men
Indians from two continents
Mixed with Spanish

And if we go back centuries
We are more American
We are more American
Than the Anglo-Saxon son
