Lyrics

As a girl, I thought I'd be a big mariachi
I had talent, I had promise, I had flair
You sure did!
My rancheras felt like magic in the moonlight
My guitar could make you float in mid-air
You were great, amor, let's eat
But I put those dreams on hold and started working
I'm starving!
Just smile and let her know that you're aware
Thank you?
De nada, de nada, de nada
At your age, I had four jobs, can you imagine?
Cleaning toilets, wiping asses night and day
Amá, really?
Every muscle in my body always aching
So before you answer back, what do you say?
What do you say? What do you say?
¿Gracias?
De nada, de nada, de nada
You're welcome!
De nada, de nada, de nada
Let's eat!
I carried you nine months inside my belly
¡De nada!
And trust me, you were heavy even then
Amá—
And moving to the States, it wasn't easy
De nada
We had to start from scratch, start again
We walked across the desert, made the trek in our huaraches (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Braving heat stroke, getting blistered by the sand (Oh, oh, oh)
And we were hungry!
Then swam the Rio Grande, made our way to California
Like Moses, we entered into the promised land
So, enjoy this home-cooked meal with your familia
De nada
All our sacrifice was worth the price we paid
And lucky you, I got you work at 'Stela's factory
Lucky?
Mija, it's done, so just enjoy the serenade (Ajua)
De nada, de nada, de nada
De nada
De nada
