El Corrido del Mojado (Live)

El 23 de noviembre
Me agarró la migración
Me preguntó "Trae papeles?"
Le contesté "No, señor."
El jefe de migracíon
Me dice "Lo siento mucho"
Tu eres Ruperto Martinez
Así lo dice el denuncio
Pasaporte no lo tengo
Porque nunca lo me han dado
Por eso me decidí
A pasarme de mojado
Me siguio la migración
Por pueblos, montes, y estados
Sería por la precaución
Me esposaron de los manos
De Eagle Pass hasta del rio
Me subierón en avion
Les pregunté a donde vamos
Me contestó el corralón
Esa carcel de Eagle Pass
Tiene 50 escalones
Donde bajan a los presos
A dar sus declaraciones
Alla los que son casados
Se acuerdan de sus mujeres
Se pasean como unos locos
Hablando con los paredes
Ya con esta me despida
Les dije a los del jurado
No vuelvo a los Estados Unidos
A pasarme de mojado
Estos versos son compuestos
Y van como despedida
Son de Ruperto Martinez
De Rio Brave, Coahuila

El Corrido del Mojado (Live)

November 23rd
Was when I was caught by the border patrol
He asked me "Do you have papers?"
I answered him "No, sir."
The head of immigration
Says to me "I am very sorry"
You are Ruperto Martinez
That's how the report says
I do not have a passport
Because I have never been given one
That's why I decided
To cross over as an undocumented immigrant
The border patrol was on my tail
Through towns, mountains, and states
It must have been because of precaution
They handcuffed me
From Eagle Pass to the river
They put me on a plane
I asked them where we were going
He answered "The holding cell"
That jail in Eagle Pass
Has 50 steps
Where the prisoners go down
To give their statements
There the married men
Think of their wives
They pace around like madmen
Talking to the walls
With this, I will take my leave
I told the jury
I will not return to the United States
As an undocumented immigrant
These verses are composed
And they serve as a farewell
They are from Ruperto Martinez
Of Rio Brave, Coahuila
