El Ilegal

I didn't say goodbye to my friends
I said goodbye to my love and my parents
I cried alone, there were no witnesses
And only God knew my pain
And only God knew my pain

I arrived in the north without a penny
With pain I left my country
Oh, if the wild river could speak
That I crossed on an old root
That I crossed on an old root

Texas Valley, Weslaco and San Antonio
Houston, Dallas are in my song
Texas, it's Texas, very large in extension
But it fits here in my heart

And I didn't say goodbye to the boys
But I already sent them a postcard
He says: Hey, bunch of drunks, seriously now
Your illegal friend misses you
Your illegal friend misses you

How beautiful is the American Union
Illinois, California and Tennessee
But there in my Mexican land
A little piece of heaven is for me
A little piece of heaven is for me

Goodbye, Laredo, Weslaco and San Antonio
Houston, Dallas are in my song
Goodbye, El Paso, I've arrived at Chamizal
Your illegal friend returned
Your illegal friend is leaving now
Your illegal friend returned
Your illegal friend is leaving now
