He packed a pair of shirts and then a hat
Some good advice, a fading map
And seven photographs
That held a thousand memories
He folded up a mother's prayer for luck
Left the home he'd always loved
Just to become someone he'd only ever dreamed of
Then he cried and said goodbye
As he disguised his sorry smile
And in his hand he held a cross
And asked his God to keep his loved ones in his arms
Before he headed for the border
And was gone
guitar solo
El mojado tiene ganas de secarse
El mojado está mojado por las lágrimas
Que bota la nostalgia
El mojado, el indocumentado
Carga el bulto que legal no cargaría
Ni obligado
And he hides between the lines
Like he's a man without a country
Because nobody where he's from
Or where he's been
Will sign the paper that says where he belongs
If the moon can move across the blue
With nothing to prove
And with no one's permission
Then why?
Is the price so high?
And be denied this freedom
When he's only human
Mojado
The bitter truth tastes like a lie
Now as you gamble with your life
You cross the freeway all alone
Afraid the road won't lead you to some place to call home
Mojado
Mojado de tanto llorar
Sabiendo que en algún lugar
Te espera un beso haciendo pausa
Desde el día en que te marchaste
Try not to remember
Si la vista
Universal se extiende
El día en que nacemos
Y caduque en la muerte
Y caduca en la muerte
Porque te persiguen, Mojado
Si el cónsul del cielo
Se atendió
Permiso
And if we were born
Blue and green
If our souls were free
And dreams were universal
The right to treat us
A better life can't be denied
When heaven gives us all permission
If the moon can move across the blue
With nothing to prove
And with no one's permission
Then why is the price so high
Who can deny his freedom
When he's only human
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
