Lyrics
CRUZÉ EL RIO GRANDE NADANDO
SIN IMPORTARME DOS RIALES
ME ECHO LA MIGRA PA´FUERA
Y FUI A CAER A NOGALES
ENTRE POR OTRA FRONTERA
Y QUE ME AVIENTAN PA´JUAREZ
DE AHI ME FUI A TAMAULIPAS
Y ME COLÉ POR LAREDO
ME DISFRAZÉ DE GABACHO
Y ME PINTÉ EL PELO GÜERO
Y COMO NO HABLABA INGLES
QUE ME RETACHAN DE NUEVO
LA MIGRA A MI ME AGARRÓ
TRESCIENTES VECES DIGAMOS
PERO JAMAS ME DOMÓ
A MI ME HIZO LOS MANDADOS
LOS GOLPES QUE A MI ME DIÓ
SE LOS COBRÉ A SUS PAISANOS
POR MEXICALI YO ENTRÉ
Y SAN LUIS COLORADO
TODAS LAS LINEAS CRUZÉ
DE CONTRABANDO Y MOJADO
PERO JAMAS ME RAJÉ
Y ME VENIA AL OTRO LADO
CONOSCO TODAS LAS LINEAS
CAMINOS, RIOS Y CANALES
DESDE TIJUANA REYNOSA
DE MATAMOROS A JUAREZ
DE PIEDRAS NEGRAS AL PASO
Y DE AGUA PRIETA A NOGALES
LA MIGRA A MI ME AGARRÓ
TRESCIENTES VECES DIGAMOS
PERO JAMAS ME DOMÓ
A MI ME HIZO LOS MANDADOS
LOS GOLPES QUE A MI ME DIÓ
SE LOS COBRÉ A SUS PAISANOS
Lyrics translation
I CROSSED THE RIO GRANDE SWIMMING
I DON'T CARE ABOUT TWO RIALS.
I'M GETTING MIGRA PAFUERA
AND I WENT DOWN TO NOGALES
ENTER ANOTHER BORDER
AND THAT I AM AVENTAN PAJUAREZ
FROM THERE I WENT TO TAMAULIPAS
AND I SNUCK THROUGH LAREDO
I DRESSED UP AS GABACHO.
AND I PAINTED MY HAIR GÜERO
AND SINCE HE DIDN'T SPEAK ENGLISH
THAT THEY RETOUCH ME AGAIN
MIGRA TO ME GRABBED ME
THREE HUNDRED TIMES LET'S SAY
BUT IT NEVER TAMED ME
HE RAN ERRANDS FOR ME.
THE BLOWS HE GAVE ME
I TOOK IT FROM HIS COUNTRYMEN.
BY MEXICALI I ENTERED
AND SAN LUIS COLORADO
ALL THE LINES I CROSSED
SMUGGLED AND WET
BUT I NEVER BROKE
AND I WOULD COME TO THE OTHER SIDE
I KNOW ALL THE LINES
ROADS, RIVERS AND CANALS
FROM TIJUANA REYNOSA
FROM MATAMOROS TO JUAREZ
OF BLACK STONES TO THE PASS
AND FROM PRIETA WATER TO WALNUTS
MIGRA TO ME GRABBED ME
THREE HUNDRED TIMES LET'S SAY
BUT IT NEVER TAMED ME
HE RAN ERRANDS FOR ME.
THE BLOWS HE GAVE ME
I TOOK IT FROM HIS COUNTRYMEN.
