lyrics
My name is Jesus, I've a wife and three kids,
we moved here a few years ago.
I did all that I could to support them there,
But I couldn't make enough back in Mexico.
I worked for your corporations back home,
but they didn't pay a livable wage;
so we moved to the land of opportunity
hoping to turn a new page.
Singing, "ay ay ay ay,
canta y no llores,
porque cantando se allegran,
cielito lindo, los corazones.
I found work in the fields, back-breaking labor,
toiling all day in the sun.
I never complained, knowing without
this work or wages I'd have none.
We'd found a way to survive in this world,
to live at peace in this nation,
til Arizona passed a new law
to curb illegal immigration,
I was driving my car, but I didn't get far
when I saw the flashing lights in the mirror.
Then you saw that I, no I never cried,
I didn't shed a single tear,
'cause I knew I'd leave my family here.
Singing, "ay ay ay ay,
canta y no llores,
porque cantando se allegran,
cielito lindo, los corazones.
You invaded my land and drove out my people
from the home of the brave and the land of the free.
Now you claim that it's yours, you say I'm illegal,
as though it were lawful to steal it from me.
Now you've got me locked up and you're sending me back,
I can't say good bye to my family;
but I'll be back soon by the light of the moon,
in the mean time I know they'll keep singing.
Singing, "ay ay ay ay,
canta y no llores,
porque cantando se allegran,
cielito lindo, los corazones.
