Ya Nos Dieron Permiso
Ya nos dieron un permiso
pa estar bien con la ley
mas vale que se decidan
a emigrarnos de una vez
porque por mas que nos sacan
nos volvemos a meter.
De Laredo hasta Tijuana
Matamoros y Nogales
de Agua Prieta a Piedras Negras
de Mexicali hasta Juárez
es por donde los coyotes
pasan a los ilegales.
La migra nos dio permiso
hay que salir a gozar
con mas de cuatro del welter
la vamos a celebrar
ya pronto será el día quince
el cheque ya va a llegar.
Dicen que si hallan mojados
al patrón van a multar
las fabricas y los campos
hoteles y restaurantes
como pagan muy barato
solos se van a quedar.
Se va perder la cebolla
el limón y la lechuga
pues si sacan al mojado
quienes van a trabajar
nosotros los ya legales
no vamos a ir a piscar.
Si nos quitan el permiso
huy huy huy que dolor
mientras que estemos casados
y nos prefiera el patrón
nos van a hacer los mandados
los jefes de migración.
They Already Gave Us Permission
They already gave us permission
To be okay with the law
It's better for them to decide
To deport us once and for all
Because no matter how many times they kick us out
We find a way back in.
From Laredo to Tijuana
Matamoros and Nogales
From Agua Prieta to Piedras Negras
From Mexicali to Juárez
That's where the coyotes
Take the illegals through.
The border patrol gave us permission
We have to go out and enjoy
With more than four from the welterweight
We're going to celebrate
The fifteenth day will soon come
The check will arrive.
They say if they find wetbacks
They will fine the boss
The factories and fields
Hotels and restaurants
Since they pay very little
They will be left alone.
The onions will be lost
The lemon and lettuce
Because if they deport the wetback
Who will work
We, the legal ones
Won't go to pick.
If they take away our permission
Oh, what a pain
As long as we are married
And the boss prefers us
The migration bosses
Will run errands for us.
