El Árbol
Los Tucanes de Tijuana
The Tree
The tree keeps getting watered
That's why it keeps growing
The laws want to knock it down
But they have failed in their attempt
They only cut its leaves
And when the people protest
The tree provides a lot of shade
And also bears many fruits
There are very big interests
In the countries of the world
That's why they protect it
The big corrupt bosses
To make the tree dry up
You have to cut the root
We all know that
But there are many out there
Who fertilize the tree
By order of a briefcase
And the plant keeps giving
Without anyone looking at its end
The tree keeps growing
Its branches gain ground
Government speeches
Is all we have
And presidential terms go by
And the tree keeps unstoppable
Its trunk is very thick now
It won't be easy to knock it down
And even less if they act foolish
Because the tree shelters them
There are blind, deaf, and mute
Governing the country
The tree remains lush
In green and blooming
Oxygenating businesses
Of the big bosses of the people
It has become very powerful
The Santa Claus of the government
To make the tree dry up
You have to cut the root
We all know that
But there are many out there
Who fertilize the tree
By order of a briefcase
And the plant keeps giving
Without anyone looking at its end
