We gave birth to a new generation,
AmeRican, broader than lost gold
never touched, hidden inside the
puerto rican mountains.
we gave birth to a new generation
AmeRican, it includes everything
imaginable you-name-it-we-got-it
society.
we gave birth to a new generation
AmeRican salutes all folklores,
european, indian, black, Spanish,
and anything else compatible:
AmeRican, singing to composer pedro flores'
palm trees high up in the universal
sky!
AmeRican, sweet soft Spanish danzas gypsies
moving lyrics la espanola
cascabelling presence always
singing at our side!
AmeRican, beating jibaro modern troubadours
crying guitars romantic continental
bolero love songs!
AmeRican, across forth and across back back
across and forth back forth across
and back and forth our trips are
walking bridges! it all dissolved
into itself, the attempt was truly
made, the attempt was truly
absorbed, digested, we spit out the
poison, we spit out the malice, we
stand, affirmative in action, to
reproduce a broader answer to the
marginality that gobbled us up
abruptly!
AmeRican, walking plena-rhythms in new york
strutting beautifully alert, alive,
many turning eyes wondering,
admiring!
AmeRican, defining myself my own way any
way many ways Am e Rican, with
the big R and the accent on the i!
AmeRican, like the soul gliding talk of gospel
boogie music!
AmeRican, speaking new words in spanglish
tenements, fast tongue moving
street corner "que corta" talk being
invented at the insistence of a
smile!
AmeRican, abounding inside so many ethnic
english people, and out of
humanity, we blend and mix all
that is good!
AmeRican, integrating in new york and
defining our own destine, our own
way of life,
AmeRican, defining the new america, humane
america, admired america, loved
america, harmonious america, the
world in peace, our energies
collectively invested to find other
civilizations, to touch God, further
and further, to dwell in the spirit of
divinity!
AmeRican, yes, for now, for i love this, my
second land, and i dream to take
the accent from the altercation, and
be proud to call myself american,
in the u.s. sense of the word,
AmeRican, America!
