Somos mas americanos

They've yelled at me a thousand times to go back to my land,
Because I don't fit in 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, for me to jump over 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'm not here to give them war, I'm a hardworking man

And if history doesn't lie, here settled in glory the powerful nation
Among brave warriors, Indians from two continents, mixed with Spanish
And if we go through the centuries: we are more American
We are more American than the son of the Anglo-Saxon

They bought us without money the waters of the Rio Grande
And they took away Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and Colorado
California also flew away and Nevada with Utah didn't fill them up
The state of Wyoming, they also snatched it from us
I am the blood of the Indian, I am Latino, I am mestizo
We are of all colors and all trades
And if we count the centuries, even if it hurts the neighbor
We are more American than all the gringos
