Paroles et traduction Cuisillos de Arturo Macias - Los Alambrados

Los Alambrados

De México habían salido
Hasta Tijuana llegaron
Por no traer sus papeles
De alambrados se pasaron
Se cruzaron por el cerro
Su rumbo habían agarrado

Iban rodeando veredas
Como lo habían acordado
Eran de noche y por eso
La vigilancia burlaron
Y por allá en Chula vista
Dos tipos los esperaron

Un helicóptero andaba
Queriéndolos encontrar
Pero entre los matorrales
Nada pudieron mirar
Lo que hay que hacer en la vida
Para dólares ganar

Hasta en siñita llegaron
Casi ya de madrugada
De los que los recogieron
No se volvió a saber nada
Ahí pasaron dos noches
Y sin poder hacer nada

Mas tarde se decidieron
A dar la vida o la muerte
Pero la fe que tenían
Los llevo con mucha suerte
Ahora ya andan en Chicago
Con dólares se divierten

Barbed Wire Fences

From Mexico they had left
To Tijuana they came
Without papers to cross
They scaled the barb wire fences
They crossed through the hills
They had chosen their path

They went around trails
As they had agreed
It was night and so
They dodged the watch
And over in Chula Vista
Two guys were waiting for them

A helicopter was flying
Trying to find them
But in the bushes
They couldn't see anything
What you have to do in life
To earn dollars

They ended up in San Diego
Almost at dawn
The ones who picked them up
Were never heard from again
They spent two nights there
And couldn't do anything

Later they decided
To risk life or death
But the faith they had
Led them with great fortune
Now they are in Chicago
Having fun with dollars
