Add: THE BALLAD OF JOE ARPAIO Lyrics: Saul Linares 1 Voy a cantarles un corrido a los presentes, que le compuse a Joe Arpaio de Arizona, un sinverguenza, desgraciado, anti-inmigrante, que se ha ganado el repudio de toda la gente. 2 Es un sheriff que está gastando mucha plata, mucho dinero que paga el contribuyente, Arpaio mete preso al inmigrante porque el dice que son unos delicuentes, pero tan sólo buscan un trabajo decente que en su pais ellos no lo han encontrado y sin sentido y sin rasón aparente por una calle encandenados pos paseaba 3 Ya los latinos de Arpaio están muy organizados no tienen miedo ni al sheriff, ni policía, a Joe Arpaio le dicen y le repiten sos criminal debarias estar preso. -------------- I wil sing a corrido to all those present that I wrote for Joe Arpaio from Arizona, a shameless, disgraceful immigrant hater who has earned the repudiation of the people. [Arpaio is a sheriff who wastes much money, much money paid by taxpayers,] Arpaio jails the immigrants because he says they are crooks but they are only looking for a decent job that they haven't found in their own country And without any apparent sense or reason he paraded them in chains down the street. Latinos are tired [of Arpaio], Immigrants, who are very organized, don't fear the sheriff or the police. They say to Joe Arpaio and they say it again: You're a criminal and should be in jail. Translation by Eduardo Porter [revised by poster]. The New York Times, March 16, 2009. Article in NY Times, March 15, 2009, by Lawrence Downes. Saul Lineares originally was from El Salvador; currently he is a union organizer. |
