A reader sent me the translation for the video below. Here it is, although I might have preferred in retrospect not to know:

Al candidato quien es Barack Obama

Este corrido le canto con el alma
    I sing this corrido with all my soul.   



  Humilde fue nacido tambien sin pretencion

    Y traernos todos juntos

    CHORUS:

    Viva Obama! (Viva!) Viva Obama! (Viva!)
    Familias unidas, seguras, y hasta con plan de salud.
    Families united, secure, and with a health plan.
    Viva Obama! (Viva!) Viva Obama! (Viva!)
