I met a girl in east L.A.
In floral shorts as sweet as May
She sang in eights in two Barrio chords
We fell in love
But not in court

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la

I don't
I don't

Aaaahhh America
Americano
Aaaahhh America
Americano

Mis canciones son de la re revolución
Mi corazón me duele por mi generación
If you love me
we can marry on the west coast
On a Wednesday,
En el verano o en Agosto

I don't speak your
I don't speak your
Language, oh no
I don't speak your
I don't speak your
Jesus Cristo

Aaaahhh America
Americano
Aaaahhh America
Americano

I will fight for, I have fought for
How I love you
I have cried for, I will die for
How I care
In the mountains, las campanas
Están sonando
Todos los chicos (chicas), y los chicos (chicas)
Se están besando

I don't speak your
I don't speak your
Language, oh no
I don't speak your
I won't speak your
Jesus Cristo

I don't speak your
I won't speak your
Americano
I don't speak your
I don't speak your
Jesus Cristo

Aaaahhh America
Americano
Aaaahhh America
Americano
Aaaahhh America
Americano
Aaaahhh America

Don't you try to catch me
Don't you try to catch me
No, no, no
I'm living on the edge of
Living on the edge
Of the law, law law
Don't you try to catch me
Don't you try to get me
No, no, no, no
Don't you try to catch me
I'm living on the edge of the law
law, law, law
