Rubén Blades
Delilah
Made a run to her side
For the promises of pleasure
Like a kid on a ride
I completely forgot home

A coyote led the way
Through the desert’s burning sun
Still remember how it felt
To be reborn

I was stranded for the love of Delilah
And I was beaten, finger printed for the love of Delilah
I was sworn in for the love of Delilah
I was branded and deported for the love of Delilah

Met Delilah long ago
She seduced me with her song
And I swore I’d never rest till I won her love

When the migra chopper came
My song turned to a scream
Wheel of fortune ran me down
I wasn’t wishing for this thing

I was branded for the love of Delilah
I was beaten, then deported for the love of Delilah
I was sworn in for the love of Delilah
I was beaten, finger printed, deported for the love of Delilah
I’m looking now
