I met a girl, in east L.A.,
in floral shorts as sweet as may,
she sang in eights and two Barrio chords,
we fell in love, but not in court,
La La La La La La La (x6)
Aah-Aah-America, Americano
Aah-Aah-America, Americano
Mis canciones son de la revolución
Mi corazón me duele por mi generación
If you love me
We can marry
On the west coast
On a wednesday
En un verano
En agosto
I don't speak your
I don't speak your
Language oh no!
(La La La La La La La)
I don't speak your (don’t speak your),
I don't speak your (don’t speak your)
Jesus Cristo
La La La La La La La
Aah-Aah-America, Americano
Aah-Aah-America, Americano
I will fight for
I have fought for
How I love you
(La La La La La La La)
I have cried for
I will die for
How I care
(La La La La La La La)
In the mountains
Las campanas
Están sonando
La La La La La La La
Todos los chicos(chicas)
Y los chicos (chicas)
Están besando
La La La La La La La
I don't speak your
I don't speak your
Language oh no!
(La La La La La La La)
I don't speak your,
I don't speak your
Jesus Cristo
(La La La La La La La)
I don't speak your (don’t speak your),
I don't speak your (don’t speak your)
Americano
(La La La La La La La)
I don't speak your (don’t speak your),
I don't speak your (don’t speak your)
Jesus Cristo
(La La La La La La La)

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
