Ice El Hielo
La Santa Cecilia Lyrics
Ice. Water Frozen Solid.
ICE. Immigration Customs Enforcement.
Ice. El Hielo.
Eva pasando el trapo sobre la mesa ahí está
cuidando que todo brille como una perla.
Cuando llegue la patrona, que no se vuelva quejar.
No sea cosa que la acuse de ilegal.
José atiende los jardines, parecen de Disneyland
No importa si fue taxista allá en su tierra natal
Eso no cuenta para el Tío Sam.
El Hielo anda suelto por esas calles
Nunca se sabe cuando nos va tocar
ahora los niños lloran a la salida
Lloran al ver que no llegará mamá
Uno se queda aquí, otro se queda allá,
Eso pasa por salir a trabajar.
Marta llegó de niña y sueña con estudiar.
Pero se le hace difícil sin los papeles.
Se quedan con los laureles los que nacieron acá,
Pero ella nunca deja de luchar.
El Hielo anda suelto por esas calles
Nunca se sabe cuando nos va tocar
Ahora los niños lloran a la salida
Lloran al ver que no llegará mamá
Uno se queda aquí, otro se queda allá,
Eso pasa por salir a trabajar.

Les juró que esta canción me llegó al alma, de tan solo sentir el dolor, el miedo, la desesperación de estar allá en estos momentos buscando "La Pesadilla Americana" ... Todo por unos cuantos pesos, fuerza paisanos latinos... ¡FUERZA!

De mis canciones predilectas.
Esta es una rola de colección especial. Es como para un documental.
Bravo, La Santa Cecilia. Excelente pieza.
