Me gustan los cowboys
y las hamburguesas
la noche en Manhattan
Viaje a las Estrellas
Me gustan las calles
allá en San Francisco
ya se que es distinto
que nada es lo mismo
I am american
south south south american
if god is your father
Pachamama is my mother
and we love our brothers too
Vinieron de lejos
trajeron los barcos
perdieron los indios
ganaron los blancos
Aquella cultura quedo sepultada
por cruces y espadas
y voces calladas
I am american
south south south american
if god is your father
Pachamama is my mother
and we love our brothers too
I am american
Sur, Centro y Norteamérica
cuando Dios hizo el edén
pensó en América
Le digo a la gente que tome conciencia
América es una en cuerpo y esencia
América grande ayuda a tu hermano
que en este planeta vamos todos de la mano
I am american
south south south american
if god is your father
Pachamama is my mother
and we love our brothers too
I am american
Sur, Centro y Norteamérica
cuando Dios hizo el edén
pensó en América
pensó en América
pensó en América...
América Latina
no duerme en tus brazos
trabaja y ayuda
en las calles y en el campo
Sus hombres, mujeres
sus sueños, su fuerza
América es una
que crece y no espera
Hispanos orientales
negros y sajones
caminan nuestra América
por todos los rincones
América grande ayuda a tu hermano
que en este planeta vamos todos de la mano
I am american...
