¿Qué es esta tierra de América?
tantos viajaron allí
Cariño búscame allí
mandaré a buscarte en cuanto pueda
y construiremos nuestro hogar
en la tierra americana
Por allí las mujeres visten de seda
y satén hasta las rodillas
crecen en los árboles
el oro salta fuera de los ríos
directo hacia tus manos
cuando construyas tu hogar
en la tierra americana
Hay diamantes en la acera
hay pillos alineados en coro
querida he oído que la cerveza fluye por
los grifos la noche entera
hay un tesoro para ser cogido
por todo hombre que trabaje duro
los que construyan su hogar
en esta tierra americana
Atraqué en la ista Ellis
en una cuidad de luces y agujas
deambulé hasta el valle
del ardiente acero y fuego
hicimos el acero que construyó las cuidades con nuestro sudor
y nuestras manos
e hicimos nuestro hogar
en la tierra americana
Hay diamantes en la acera
hay pillos alineados en coro
querida he oído que la cerveza fluye por
los grifos la noche entera
hay un tesoro para ser cogido
por todo hombre que trabaje duro
los que construyan su hogar
en esta tierra americana
Los McNicholas, los Posalskis
los Smiths y los Zerillis
los Negros, los Irlandeses, los Italianos
los Alemanes y los Judíoss
vienen cruzando el mar
a miles de millas de su casa
con nada en sus estómagos
excepto el fuego que les quema
Ellos murieron costruyendo los ferrocarriles
se dejaron la piel y los huesos
ellos murieron en los campos y en las fábricas
sus nombres se dirpersaron en el viento
ellos murieron para llegar aquí
hace cien años, y todavía mueren ahora
Las manos que construyeron el país
que estamos intentando mantener
Hay diamantes en la acera
hay pillos alineados en coro
querida he oído que la cerveza fluye por
los grifos la noche entera
hay un tesoro para ser cogido
por todo hombre que trabaje duro
los que construyan su hogar
en esta tierra americana

What is this land America so many travel there
I'm going now while I'm still young my darling meet me there
Wish me luck my lovely I'll send for you when I can
And we'll make our home in the American land
Over there all the woman wear silk and satin to their knees
And children dear, the sweets, I hear, are growing on the trees
Gold comes rushing out the rivers straight into your hands
When you make your home in the American Land
There's diamonds in the sidewalk the's gutters lined in song
Dear I hear that beer flows through the faucets all night long
There's treasure for the taking, for any hard working man
Who will make his home in the American Land
I docked at Ellis Island in a city of light and spires
She met me in the valley of red-hot steel and fire
We made the steel that built the cities with our sweat and two hands
And we made our home in the American Land
There's diamonds in the sidewalk the's gutters lined in song
Dear I hear that beer flows through the faucets all night long
There's treasure for the taking, for any hard working man
Who will make his home in the American Land
The McNicholas, the Posalski's, the Smiths, Zerillis, too
The Blacks, the Irish, Italians, the Germans and the Jews
Come across the water a thousand miles from home
With nothin in their bellies but the fire down below
They died building the railroads worked to bones and skin
They died in the fields and factories names scattered in the wind
They died to get here a hundred years ago they're still dyin now
The hands that built the country were always trying to keep down
There's diamonds in the sidewalk the gutters lined in song
Dear I hear that beer flows through the faucets all night long
There's treasure for the taking, for any hard working man
Who will make his home in the American Land
Who will make his home in the American Land
Who will make his home in the American Land
I'm going now while I'm still young my darling meet me there
Wish me luck my lovely I'll send for you when I can
