about

Xolo Fox has reinterpreted Manu Chao's 1998 classic "Clandestino" to reflect the contemporary experience of undocumented immigrants in the United States, summoning a ghostly, ethereal voice layered over a starkly modern and electronic rhythm.

lyrics

Solo voy con mi pena
Sola va mi condena
Correr es mi destino
Para burlar la ley
Perdido en el corazón
Por Cristóbal Colón
Me dicen el clandestino
Por no llevar papel

Pa' una ciudad del norte
Yo me fui a trabajar
Mi vida la dejé
Entre la frontera y acá
Yo soy de otra orilla
Fantasma del agua
Mi vida va prohibida
Dice la autoridad

En América, ¡clandestina!
Escondida, ¡clandestina!
Extranjera, ¡clandestina!
Inmigrante, ¡ilegal!

¡ilegal!
¡ilegal!
¡ilegal!
