Ambiguity
Sabrina Camargo
Me dicen güerita No morenita Quien soy? Where are you from Who me—Or my parents Depends who asks Why can’t I just be me
Hablas muy bonito el español a pesar de haber nacido aquí Y el novio Le deberias de ayudar a tus papás The brown girl with good grades The brown girl with only white friends Who am I?
You’re really pale for a Mexican, look I’m tanner than her You don’t have an accent when you speak English You’re actually smart, are you sure Spanish is your first language Why can’t I just be me Too Mexicana to be American Too American to be Mexicana What am I? I walk with my head high in search to accept me
