Cuando llegue a Estado Unidos por primera vez
Cuando llegué a Estados Unidos por primera vez
Me acuerdo de que era diferente a lo que estaba acostumbrado
Me sentía diferente a otra gente como mi hermana que veía cosas nuevas
Alrededor de mi, yo veía algo nuevo
algo más para aprender
Entonces me sentí una oportunidad de aprender algo nuevo
When I first came to the United States
When I first came to the United States
I remember that it was different from what I was used to
I felt different from other people like my sister who saw new things
Around me, I saw something new
something else to learn
It was then that I felt an opportunity to learn something new.
