Siempre fui un vagabundo sin ocupación
Vagaba por el mundo sin ton ni son
Un día me entro la angustia de talonear
Y al país de las hamburguesas vine a dar

Ahora ando de indocumentado
Estoy taloneando acá en el gabo
Me vine de espalda mojada
Pero la neta me ha ido de la patada

He conocido a dos tres cuates que les ha ido muy bien
Que tienen hasta coche y le llueven los billetes
Pero yo ya la hice de todo acá en este país
Y para colmo de males no mastico el ingles

Y aquí ando de indocumentado
Estoy taloneando acá en el gabo
Y aunque ya no uso mis guaraches
Aquí aprendí a amar a dios en tierra apache

Tengo que aprender, a hablar el ingles
Pues no tengo a donde ir, no tengo a quien querer
Me vine de ilegal, pero me ha ido muy mal
Quisiera retachar, a mi ciudad natal
Aquí en esta país extraño a mi familia y extraño a mi hogar

Ya me he salvado varias veces de caer en prisión
Y es que he tenido que atracar para sobrevivir
Y si la migra todavía no me ha apañado
Es porque soy güero de rancho con los pelos parados
