'Born on the east side

In the barrio badlands

Juan Cortez walks the streets

He's a proud man

He loves a girl

With eyes that sparkle like diamonds

Troubled world

Makes him fight for his woman

La raza

From the south blows the wind of la raza

The legends all told

Follow the sun to the great river valley

La raza del sol

Bold & strong

Find a life 'cross the border

It ain't easy hassling with law & order

In the soul stands the strength of the family

Holding on with the spirit and glory

La raza

From the south blows the wind of la raza

The legends all told

Follow the sun to the great river valley

La raza del sol
