Manu Chao "Clandestino" lyrics

Clandestino

Solo voy con mi penaSola va mi condenaCorrer es mi destinoPara burlar la leyPerdido en el corazónDe la grande BabylonMe dicen el clandestinoPor no llevar papel

Pa' una ciudad del norteYo me fui a trabajarMi vida la dejéEntre Ceuta y GibraltarSoy una raya en el marFantasma en la ciudadMi vida va prohibidaDice la autoridad

Solo voy con mi penaSola va mi condenaCorrer es mi destinoPor no llevar papelPerdido en el corazónDe la grande BabylonMe dicen el clandestino

Yo soy el quiebra leyMano Negra clandestinaPeruano clandestinoAfricano clandestinoMarijuana ilegal

Solo voy con mi penaSola va mi condenaCorrer es mi destinoPara burlar la leyPerdido en el corazónDe la grande BabylonMe dicen el clandestinopor no llevar papel

Clandestine*

I come only with my punishmentThere comes only my convictionRunning is my fateIn order to deceive the lawLost in the heartOf the great BabylonThey call me the Clandestine*'cause I don't carry any identity papers

To a northern cityI went for workI left my life behindBetween Ceuta and GibraltarI'm a just a rake on the seaA ghost in the cityMy life is prohibitedSays the authority

I come only with my punishmentThere comes only my convictionRunning is my fate'cause I don't carry any identity papersLost in the heartOf the great BabylonThey call me the Clandestine*

I'm the sellout of lawClandestine Black Hand**Peruvian Clandestine*African Clandestine*Marijuana illegal

I come only with my punishmentThere comes only my convictionRunning is my fateIn order to deceive the lawLost in the heartOf the great BabylonThey call me the Clandestine*'cause I don't carry any identity papers

Algerian Clandestine*Nigerian Clandestine*Bolivian Clandestine*Black Hand** illegal
