Y Yo Tambien


I know America

I can speak it

But not sing it

For I sing unusually

In a separate language

“Mi vida Americana”

Proud of what is in I

And where I am in

Where I stand is different

Too stupid to sit

Or do what is told

Too bold to move

Nothing can move me

I’m here to stay

Don’t worry

I speak America, too

But I don’t sing it the same way as

You
