Jack Baker is gonna be singing a corrido called Señor Migra,
what do you think it is about?
I entitled my song Señor Migra (Mr. Border Patrol)
and it's just what it says, it's a story of a seven year old child
in Obregón that is praying for her dad who is about to leave
to find a job in Tucson.
This song is about a corrido.
There are corridos that have waltz rhythms and others have
a more ranchero sound. This corrido that I wrote
has a more ranchero sound, but it is still considered a corrido.
Speaking of Mexican ancestry
my name is Jack Baker, but I want you to know that I
am Chicano raised in the barrio.
my grandmother was born here in Tucson in 1879,
she will be one hundred and three years old
with God's favor on November 22.
so, thank you for the appreciation towards her.

Esta canción se trata de un, un corrido.
Hay corridos que llevan compazes de valses y otros
mas rancheritas y esta que compuse yo es un,
es un bolerito ranchero, pero es corrido también.
Y hablando de ascendencia mexicana
yo me llamo Jack Baker, pero quiero que sepan que
soy chicano del barrio, así criado
mi abuelita nació aquí en Tucson en 1879,
va a cumplir ciento y tres años de edad
con el favor de Dios es dia 22 de Noviembre.
so, gracias de la parte, de su parte...
