Raza de Bronce - Luis Y Julian Übersetzung ins Englische

Raza de Bronce

Aunque yo nací en McAllen
Me siento muy mexicano
Esas tierras eran nuestras
Los gringos nos las quitaron
Por un puñado de verdes
Que a Santa Ana le prestaron

Hacienda El Encadenado
Municipio de Terán
Nació mi padre querido
Hombre sincero y formal
También de ahí era mi madre
Nunca la voy a olvidar

Hay veces que en la pobreza
En la vida se nos carga
Yo trabaje con destreza
En la Unión Americana
Si Dios nos dio inteligencia
Debemos de aprovecharla

Yo no nací pa' ser pobre
Todo lo bueno me gusta
Amo al oro más que al cobre
Y el negocio no me asusta
Le tiendo la mano al pobre
Que en mi camino se cruza

Tan grande como es mi historia
Así es mi raza de bronce
Por ley soy americano
Pero en mis venas me recorre
Sangre de dos mexicanos
Que donde quiera responden

Mi nombre quisiera dar
Pero no soy presumido
Solo les quiero aclarar
Valle López es mi apellido
Si algún día me ven por ahí
Contaran con un amigo

Bronze Race

Although I was born in McAllen, my love,
I feel very Mexican, it's true.
Those lands were ours, you see,
The gringos took them from us, me and you.
For a handful of green, they did the deed,
That they lent to Santa Ana, driven by greed.

Hacienda El Encadenado, a place so dear,
Municipality of Terán, holding memories clear.
My beloved father was born there, it's true,
A sincere and upright man, through and through.
My mother was also from there, a love so deep,
I will never forget her, my promise to keep.

There are times when poverty, my dear,
Weighs heavily on our lives, it's clear.
I worked skillfully, I must confess,
In the American Union, for success.
If God gave us intelligence, so bright,
We must take advantage of it, day and night.

I wasn't born to be poor, my love so true,
I like all things good, just like you.
I love gold more than copper, it's a fact,
And business doesn't scare me, no turning back.
I lend a hand to the poor, you see,
Who crosses my path, just like me.

As great as my story is, so grand,
So is my bronze race, across the land.
By law I am American, it's true,
But through my veins runs, for me and you,
The blood of two Mexicans, so bold,
Who will always respond, as they've been told.

I'd like to give my name, my sweet,
But I'm not boastful, can't be beat.
I just want to make it clear, you see,
Valle López is my surname, just for thee.
If you ever see me around, don't hesitate,
You can count on a friend, it's never too late.
