lyrics

Tus Juegos y mis penas
(Your games and my sorrows)

Your voice takes me home
My little chilpayate
Your games and your sorrows
Covered in chocolate

I sent money for food
Just a few pesos from afar
I will return one day
I send hugs and kisses

The American Dream
Has become a nightmare
Don’t come to this land
They humiliate us here.

Now I’m unemployed
And there’s so little food
I’m sick in bed
With no medicine

The virus inflicts evil
Just like the president
Two vicious beasts
That oppress the people

With its claws in my neck
It bites my head
Takes my breath away
It burns me like a weed

We are here just a short while
Migrants in this world
And when we go, we take nothing with us
To that eternal sleep

Your eyes light my way
I hope to see you soon
Your laughter returns life to me
I’m living only to hold you again

Child’s voice:
Papá Daniel you went away
To a far-off land
Come back to see me soon
Even if you bring nothing with you

Tus juegos y mis penas

Tu voz me lleva a casa
Pequeño chilpayate
Tus juegos y tus penas
Mezclada en chocolate,

Mande pa la comida
De lejos unos pesos
Regresare algún día
Te mando muchos besos.

El sueño americano
Se ha vuelto pesadilla
No vengas a ésta tierra
Aquí se nos humilla.

Hoy vivo desempleado
Y poca es la comida
En cama estoy tirado
No tengo medicina

El virus causa males
Igual que el presidente
Dos fieros animales
Que oprimen a la gente.

Con garras en el cuello
Me muerde la cabeza
Se lleva mi resuello
Me quema cuál maleza.

Venimos de pasada
Migramos a éste mundo
Y no llevamos nada
Al sueño más profundo.

Tus ojos me iluminan
Deseo pronto verte
Tus risas me reaniman
Vivir para abrazarte.

Voz de niño:
Papá Daniel te fuiste
A tierras muy lejanas
Regresa pronto a verme
Aunque no traigas nada,
