I met a girl in east LA
In floral shorts - as sweet as May
She sang in eights in two-bar 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

I dont-
I dont-

Ahhhhh America Americano
Ahhhhh America Americano
Ahhhhh America Americano
Ahhhhh America Americano

Mis canciones son de la re-revoluciуn (My songs are pains, revolution)
Mi corazуn me duele por mi generaciуn (My heart hurts for my generation)

If you love me, we can marry, on the west coast,
On a Wednesday, en el verano, en agosto (In the Summer, in August)

I don't speak your, I don't speak your langua-idioma (La-la-la-la-la-la)
I don't speak your, I won't speak, won't speak your,
won't speak your Jesus Christo (La-la-la-la-la-la)

Ahhhhh America Americano
Ahhhhh America Americano

I will fight for, I have fought for how I love you (La-la-la-la-la-la)
I will die for, I have cried for how I care (La-la-la-la-la-la)
In the mountains, las campanas estбn sonando (The bells are pealing)
Y los chicos (Chika) (And the boys (girls))
Buenos chicos (Chika), estбn besando (And good boy (girls), are kissing)

I don't speak your, I don't speak your langua-idioma (La-la-la-la-la-la)
I don't speak your, I won't speak your Jesus Christo (La-la-la-la-la-la)
I don't speak your, I don't speak your Americano (La-la-la-la-la-la)
I don't speak your, I won't speak your Jesus Christo (La-la-la-la-la-la)

Ahhhhh America Americano
Ahhhhh America Americano
Ahhhhh America Americano
Ahhhhh America Americano

Don't you try to catch me,
don't you try to catch me
No! No! No! No!
I'm living on the edge of,
Living on the edge of the law, law, law, law

Don't you try to catch me,
Don't you try to catch me,
No! No! No! No!
Don't you try to catch me,
I'm living on the edge of the law, law, law, law
