Eh Meksikanci. Kad su ikad trebali zid napraviti.
Amerika je od pocetka bila privlacna , ajmo tamo tece med i mlijeko.
American Land
What is this land America, so many travel there
I'm going now while I'm still young, my darling meet me there
Wish me luck my lovely, I'll send for you when I can
And we'll make our home in the American land
Over there the women wear silk and satin to their knees
Children dear, the sweets, I hear, are growing on the trees
Gold comes rushing out the rivers straight into your hands
If you make your home in the American land
There's diamonds in the sidewalk, there's gutters lined in song
Dear I hear that beer flows through the faucets all night long
There's treasure for the taking, for any hard working man
Who'll make his home in the American land
I docked at Ellis Island in the city of light and spire
Wandered to the valley of red-hot steel and fire
Made the steel that built the cities with the sweat of our two hands
We made our home in the American land
There's diamonds in the sidewalk, there's gutters lined in song
Dear I hear that beer flows through the faucets all night long
There's treasure for the taking, for any hard working man
Who will make his home in the American land
The McNicholas, the Posalski's, the Smiths, Zerillis too
The Blacks, the Irish, Italians, the Germans and the Jews
Come across the water a thousand miles from home
With nothin' in their bellies but the fire down below
They died building the railroads, worked to bones and skin
Died in the fields and factories, names scattered in the wind
Died to get here a hundred years ago, they're dyin' now
The hands that built the country we're always trying to keep down
There's diamonds in the sidewalk, there's gutters lined in song
Dear I hear that beer flows through the faucets all night long
There's treasure for the taking, for any hard working man
Who'll make his home in the American land
Who'll make his home in the American land
Who'll make his home in the American land

**Šta je ta zemlja, Amerika, toliko ih tamo putuje**
Sada idem dok sam još mlad, draga, srešćemo se tamo
Poželi mi sreću, moja voljena, pozvaću te kad budem mogao
I stvorićemo dom u američkoj zemlji
**Tamo žene nose svilu i saten do kolena**
Draga deca, čuo sam da slatkiši rastu na drveću
Zlato se izliva iz reka pravo u tvoje ruke
Ako svoj dom napraviš u američkoj zemlji
**Na trotoarima su dijamanti, a oluci ispunjeni pesmom**
Draga, čuo sam da pivo teče iz slavina celu noć
Blago čeka da ga uzme svaki vredni čovek
Koji napravi svoj dom u američkoj zemlji
**Stigao sam na ostrvo Elis, u grad svetla i tornjeva**
Lutao sam do doline užarenog čelika i vatre
Pravili smo čelik koji je izgradio gradove znojem naših ruku
Napravili smo svoj dom u američkoj zemlji
**Na trotoarima su dijamanti, a oluci ispunjeni pesmom**
Draga, čuo sam da pivo teče iz slavina celu noć
Blago čeka da ga uzme svaki vredni čovek
Koji napravi svoj dom u američkoj zemlji
**MekNikolasovi, Posalskijevi, Smitovi, Zerilijevi takođe**
Crnci, Irci, Italijani, Nemci i Jevreji
Došli su preko vode, hiljadu milja daleko od kuće
Sa praznim stomacima, ali sa vatrom u srcu
**Umirali su gradeći pruge, radeći dok nisu ostali bez mesa i kože**
Umirali su na poljima i u fabrikama, imena rasuta po vetru
Umirali su da bi došli ovde pre sto godina – umiru i sada
Ruke koje su izgradile ovu zemlju stalno pokušavamo da potisnemo
**Na trotoarima su dijamanti, a oluci ispunjeni pesmom**
Draga, čuo sam da pivo teče iz slavina celu noć
Blago čeka da ga uzme svaki vredni čovek
Koji napravi svoj dom u američkoj zemlji
Koji napravi svoj dom u američkoj zemlji
Koji napravi svoj dom u američkoj zemlji
