Paroles et traduction La Santa Cecilia - Ice El Hielo

Ice El Hielo

Ice. Water Frozen Solid.
ICE. Immigration Customs Enforcement.
Ice. El Hielo.

Eva pasando el trapo sobre la mesa ahí está
Cuidando que todo brille como una perla.
Cuando llegue la patrona, que no se vuelva quejar.
No sea cosa que la acuse de ilegal.

José atiende los jardines, parecen de Disneyland
Maneja una troca vieja sin la licencia.
No importa si fue taxista allá en su tierra natal
Eso no cuenta para el Tío Sam.

El Hielo anda suelto por esas calles
Nunca se sabe cuando nos va tocar
Ahora los niños lloran a la salida
Lloran al ver que no llegará mamá
Uno se queda aquí, otro se queda allá,
Eso pasa por salir a trabajar.

Marta llegó de niña y sueña con estudiar.
Pero se le hace difícil sin los papeles.
Se quedan con los laureles los que nacieron acá,
Pero ella nunca deja de luchar.

El Hielo anda suelto por esas calles
Nunca se sabe cuando nos va tocar
Ahora los niños lloran a la salida
Lloran al ver que no llegará mamá
Uno se queda aquí, otro se queda allá,
Eso pasa por salir a trabajar.

Ice El Hielo

Ice. Frozen water.
ICE. Immigration Customs Enforcement.
Ice. El Hielo.

Eva is wiping the table with a cloth there
Making sure everything shines like a pearl.
When the boss lady arrives, she can't complain.
Don't let her accuse you of being illegal.

José tends to the gardens, they look like Disneyland
He drives an old truck without a license.
It doesn't matter if he was a taxi driver in his homeland
That doesn't count for Uncle Sam.

El Hielo roams free on those streets
You never know when it's going to affect us
Now the children cry at the exit
Crying when they see that their mother won't be coming
One stays here, the other stays there,
That's what happens when you go out to work.

Marta arrived as a child and dreams of studying.
But it's difficult for her without papers.
Those who were born here take all the honors,
But she never stops fighting.

El Hielo roams free on those streets
You never know when it's going to affect us
Now the children cry at the exit
Crying when they see that their mother won't be coming
One stays here, the other stays there,
That's what happens when you go out to work.
