[00:00.000] 作曲 : Hinojosa
[00:10.153]Joaquin shed a tear for the treason
[00:15.198]But who’d hear his desperate cry
[00:20.488]He learned to speak English from tourists
[00:25.440]And reading by kerosene light
[00:30.503]He couldn’t afford education
[00:35.424]But something was burning inside
[00:40.325]He heard things were good in America
[00:45.331]And that’s what had been on his mind
[00:50.655]I met him when I was traveling
[00:55.300]Through Mexico one summer day
[01:00.604]Eyes twice as old as the young man
[01:05.479]Who taught me a lesson in faith
[01:10.575]Fate made him poor but he knew there was more
[01:15.185]Though I never did see him again
[01:20.552]I know somewhere in America
[01:25.160]Joaquin must’ve found him a place
[01:30.082]Chorus
[01:30.365]Joaquin loves his homeland
[01:35.447]But it can’t give him enough
[01:40.506]He wants a good life a job and a wife
[01:45.176]And some children with dreams that come true
[01:50.483]Bridge
[01:58.143]Moonless night crossing the bad land
[02:01.934](Ayuda me Dios)
[02:03.174]Sign of the cross o’er his chest
[02:06.645](Mi vida mi fe)
[02:08.194]Pounding heart racing til sunrise
[02:13.018]Mile after mile without rest
[02:18.212]Back at the border there’s papers
[02:23.098]But politics get in the way
[02:28.054]It may not be right but they take through the night
[02:32.797]Some pay for the dream with their life
[02:37.816]Joaquin loves his homeland
[02:43.189]But it can’t give him enough
[02:48.043]He wants a good life a job and a wife
[02:52.904]And some children with dreams that come true
[02:58.320]He wants a good life a job and a wife
[03:02.729]And some children with dreams that come true
