Текст песни: Candido & America + перевод

Today the sun will rise in the east

I will raise my eyes to the canyon

As the campfire dies, my América lies

Asleep, and dreaming of home

She is asleep, and dreaming of home

But home is here in the canyon

It is red clay, and dust, and no rain

And when I have a son, he will know where he’s from

I am a man, and I have a name

My name Cándido

A big bright car on the highway

A hit-and-run; he hit me, and I ran

There’s my Mexican blood in American mud

I am running as fast as I can

'Cause there’s nothing left for me in the old country

Just heartbreak, and shame, and old truth

If there’s life to be found in this angel of towns

I’ll find it; I’ll find it for you

I will make us a new life, América

Forget Mexico

América, don’t you cry

I promise you, it’ll be all right

América, dry your eyes

Today the sun will set in the west

I will raise a voice to the canyon

As the campfire dies, my América lies

Awake, and dreaming of home

She is awake, and dreaming of home

But I’ll sing--

Oh, oh, oh

(Cuando el fogón se apaga, América se acuesta y sueña de su tierra querida,

querida)
