Frijolero
Molotov Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo ya estoy hasta la madre
De que me pongan sombrero
Escucha entonces cuando digo
No me llames frijolero
Y aunque exista algún respeto
Y no metamos las narices
Nunca inflamos la moneda
Haciendo guerra a otros países
Te pagamos con petróleo
E intereses nuestra deuda
Mientras tanto no sabemos
Quien se queda con la feria
Aunque nos hagan la fama
De que somos vendedores
De la droga que sembramos
Ustedes son consumidores

Don't call me gringo
You fuckin' beaner
Stay on your side
Of that goddamn river
Don't call me gringo
You beaner

No me digas beaner
Mr. Puñetero
Te sacaré un susto
Por racista y culero
No me llames frijolero
Pinche gringo puñetero

Now I wish I had a dime
For every single time
I've gotten stared down
For being in the wrong side of town
And a rich man I'd be
If I had that kind of chips
Lately I wanna smack the mouths
Of these racists
Podrás imaginarte desde afuera
Ser un mexicano cruzando la frontera
Pensando en tu familia mientras que pasas
Dejando todo lo que conoces atrás
Si tuvieras tú que esquivar las balas
De unos cuantos gringos rancheros
Las seguirás diciendo good for nothing wetback?
Si tuvieras tú que empezar de cero
Now why don't you look down
To where your feet is planted
That U.S. soil that makes you take shit for granted
If not for Santa Ana, just to let you know
That where your feet are planted would be México
Correcto!

Don't call me gringo
You fuckin' beaner
Stay on your side
Of that goddamn river
Don't call me gringo
You beaner

No me digas beaner
Mr. Puñetero
Te sacaré un susto
Por racista y culero
No me llames frijolero
Pinche gringo puñetero

Overall Meaning

The song "Frijolero" by Molotov is a powerful commentary on the strained relationship between Mexicans and Americans, particularly in the context of immigration and cross-border tensions. The opening lines, "Yo ya estoy hasta la madre de que me pongan sombrero" express frustration with being stereotyped, and the subsequent lines underscore the complexity and mutual dependence of the two nations. The lyrics imply that Americans call Mexicans "frijoleros," while Mexicans are accused of being drug dealers, but in reality, both are simply consumers and suppliers in a larger, more complicated economic relationship. The chorus is a clear rejection of derogatory terms used by both sides, with both "gringo" and "beaner" being deemed unacceptable. The song ends on a poignant, almost mournful note with the lines "Si tuvieras tú que esquivar las balas/de unos cuantos gringos rancheros/las seguirás diciendo good for nothing wetback?/Si tuvieras tú que empezar de cero" which translate to "If you had to dodge the bullets/of a few ranchero gringos/would you still call me good for nothing wetback?/ If you had to start from scratch."
