We get the job done.


Nos levantamos very early, for what? 
 
Para que nos apoden como vagos. 
We're tired of thinking we're not worth anything
por qué somos los que trabajan day to day por el salario.
We come from a different place we live now
mirando for an opportunity.. opportunity to have a better life
poniendo la vida en juego to get out of the situation of our old
home..
Looking for any job opportunity in this city plagada de oscuridad
thinking about the future, y todos los riesgos that we could pass..
Saltando muros or swimming, no matter where
pero no lo hago en vano. 
I'm going to get to my dream, because I don't focus on the obstacles
yo solo me fijo en mi meta.
We are like Jesus, we do the impossible. 
If you ask us something we will do it..
Con un pico y una pala, te construimos un castillo.
There is nothing to stop us.
we are immigrants, we are immigrants.
The road to happiness is difficult, it is not something that can be easily reached..
But at least we try to earn our happiness...
