Lejos de Mi Tierra

Maybe in my land
Things don't turn out
The way I'd like
That's why my brother
From North America
I crossed the border

I left my homeland
Leaving everything behind
Because it was necessary
But you must have noticed
I haven't stolen
From your paradise

On the contrary, I came
For the greatness
Of that brotherly nation
In your tough fight
Against terrorism
We go hand in hand

It hurts me
And my soul cries
When they hurt you
You, on the other hand, humiliate me
And discriminate against me
Like a stranger

I offend you in nothing
When I offer you
My honest work
The little I have
Before God, I swear
That I've earned it

I already suffer enough
Living so alone
Far from my people
It doesn't seem fair to me
That you even persecute me
Like a criminal

And it doesn't seem fair to me
And it doesn't seem fair to me
And it doesn't seem fair

I offend you in nothing
When I offer you
My honest work
The little I have
Before God, I swear
That I've earned it

I already suffer enough
Living so alone
Far from my people
It doesn't seem fair to me
That you even persecute me
Like a criminal

It doesn't seem fair
That you even persecute me
Like a criminal
