Un Español en Nueva York

Damn the hour it occurred to me,
To leave my home for a crazy illusion.
For over a year I've been looking for my chance,
And here I am just a Spanish in New York.

Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

I'm a stranger to the Anglo,
They hate my accent and my religion.
To the blacks I'm not much better,
Here I am just a Spanish in New York.

In New York, oh oh oh
In New York,
A Spanish in New York.

Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

I have no money and live in an alley,
That smells of blood and prostitution.
Junkies on the floor, rats on a balcony,
And life is very tough on the streets of New York.

I was kicked out of Spanish Harlem,
The Puerto Ricans say I'm an invader.
I'll leave this garbage as soon as I have money for the plane,
Here I am just a Spanish in New York.

In New York,
In New York,
A Spanish in New York.
