Juanito's Ballad

Almost 14 years

without being to my land

from where I was born

Everything has changed now

And I plead to my god,

Don't let them forget me

My mother died.

And my father

That he's too old

and he doesn't want to come

and I can't even go

Working and working

It's been many days

that I haven't seen the sun

My children are grown

and I don't understand them

They don't speak Spanish

They've never felt fear

Those who have never seen

An immigration

truck

Or a deportation

In boots and sombrero

They see me often

by the freeway

Gardener or cook

I get it done

They'll say anyways

Even though you see me down

I lift up my head

Downing a bottle

I'm still a friend

and also Mexican

Mexican to the brim

Life isn't easy

And even less here

What they say isn't true

I only have to remember

the thousands of crosses

I saw in the dessert

The nights are sad

Thinking and thinking

of those who stayed

My Time flies by

and in seeing my old man

I'm more than grateful

with my god

for what he has given me

I send my regards

to all my cousins,

my uncles, and brothers

With sad eyes

and a tired gait

Juanito promises

to go visit them

and be able to hug them

In boots and sombrero

They see me often

by the freeway

Gardener or cook

I get it done

They'll say anyways

Even though you see me down

I lift up my head

Downing a bottle

I'm still a friend

and also Mexican

Mexican to the brim
