Latinos unidos

Por varios años nos han discriminadoNos han juzgado sin ningun juradoIlegales criminales, wet backs que no valenGente sin voz callada por que no sabenHan abusado de su poderNos pagan lo mas bajo por el color de nuestra pielTodos nos dicen no nos quieren aquiHey think without a Mexican you will be felizPasen sus leyes, dijanos mojadosHay muchos mas estados donde hemos llegadoNo nos quieren dar licencia ni siquiera un IDPero cobran sus impuestos cada 15 de abrilLa mera neta, usa la cabezaSi no aprendes el ingles no te vas a defenderUnidos seguiremos arrasando yMas fuerza nos daremos pa’ seguir luchando

Latinos unidos como dicen? Jamas seran vencidosLatinos unidos, luchando por un mejor caminoLatinos unidos como dicen? Jamas seran vencidosLatinos unidos, peleando pa’ cambiar nuestro destino

Aunque tengamos enemigos en el exteriorConozco a otro a un mas peorLe decimos el paisano simplemente de cariñoA veces discrimina peor que un gringoRaza contra raza piel contra pielNo es fiel a su pasado, chicano equivocadoTuvo la fortuna de llegar antes que yoDe Juan se hizo Jonhs se le olvido el español

También en la familia hay celos y envidiaEn vez de ayudarnos tapamos la salidaCompetimos por la chambaO quien tiene mas feriaEl carro mas perronLa barriga mas llenaLa hija mas bonitaEl rancho mas grandeQuien es trabajador o la mejor madreAyuda y ofrece oportunidadSolo asi encontraremos la oportunidad

Latinos unidos como dicen? Jamas seran vencidosLatinos unidos, luchando por un mejor caminoLatinos unidos como dicen? Jamas seran vencidosLatinos unidos, peleando pa’ cambiar nuestro destino

Si nos unimos tendremos un mejor futuroHay que ayudarnos hay que apoyarnosSolo asi conquistaremos that’s rightNo hay raza mejor que la miaUnidos alcanzaremos pase nuestra vidaTenemos el deber de mejorar este paisMostrar nuestra cultura y la manera de vivirNo dejar que taco bell represente al MexicanoQue nuestros hijos no abandonen su pasadoQue se vayan de casita cuando es hora de estudiarNo importa solo asi van a triunfarQue terminen la high school y la universidadQue no se rompan la espalda, al trabajarUnidos no vencidos, a lo que venimosHace falta plata en el pais, buscar otro caminoEs gacho pero cierto pa’ el gobierno de aquiNos es suficiente que suframos, nos quieren destruirPor ahi dijo Emiliano Zapata“PREFIERO MORIR PARADO QUE VIVIR A GATAS”

Latinos unidos como dicen? Jamas seran vencidosLatinos unidos, luchando por un mejor caminoLatinos unidos como dicen? Jamas seran vencidosLatinos unidos, peleando pa’ cambiar nuestro destino

latinos united

For years they've discriminated against us.They've judged us without a jury,Declared us criminals and worthless 'wetbacks',A people with no voice, silent because we don't understand'The abuse of power'.We're paid the least because of our skin color.Everyone says they don't want us here,But, hey, do you think you'll be happy without us Mexicans?Go ahead! Pass your laws and call us 'Wetbacks'!There are lots of other states where we are welcome.They won't let us drive, or give us an I.D.,But they collect our taxes every April 15th!Our mission? Use our heads!If you can't speak English, you can't defend yourself.United we will prevail.With more power we can carry on the fight.

/refrain/

Latinos united! What do you say? We are unconquerable.Latinos united! Fighting for a better life!Latinos united! What do you say? They'll never conquer us!Latinos united! Fighting to change our destiny!

Although we have some enemies here,I know of something even worse.To you countrymen - for your own good! - we say,Even worse than a Gringo's discrimination,Or race against race, or skin color against skin color,Is the failure to remember your past.Those Chicanos, lucky enough to arrive before I did, were wrong.They were 'Juans' who became 'Johns' and they forgot their Spanish.Yes, our families here have also to deal with jealousy and envy,And, instead of helping each other to deal with our 'exit',We compete with each other for the jobs,Or, try to throw the most parties,Or, to own the nicest car,Or, to have the fullest belly,Or the most beautiful daughter,Or, to own the biggest farm,Or, to be be the best worker, or the best Mother.Help others! Offer opportunities!That's the only way we'll get any opportunities.

/refrain/

If we unite, we'll have a better future.But we must help and support each other.That's the only way we'll gain our rights.No race is better than ours!United we'll reach our goals.We have a duty to improve this country,To display our culture and our life style.To show them that Taco Bell is not Mexico!But our youth must not abandon their past.They must be home when it's time to study.That's the only way they will triumph.They must complete high school and the university,Instead of performing back-breaking labor.United and unconquered we've arrived -Our country has no money - so here we search for a new way.We'll bend our backs, but for this government, our suffering is not enough!They want to destroy us!Well, as Emiliano Zapata once said:"I'd rather die on my feet, than live crawling on my belly!"
