Lyrics
Chorus
Mexicali Rose, stop crying
I’ll come back to you some sunny day
Ev’ry night you’ll know that I’ll be pining
Ev’ry hour a year while I’m away
Dry those big brown eyes and smile, dear
Banish all those tears and please don’t sigh
Kiss me once again and hold me
Mexicali Rose goodbye
Spanish verse:
Mexicali Rosa, Tengo que partir
Mexicali Rosa, no debes sufrir
En mis largas horas yo te estranare
Y tus iluziones yo realizare
Chorus
Mexicali Rosa no llores
Piensa que muy pronto volvere
Y que siempre triste sin consuelo
Cada non che y dia yo pasare
Seca tus hermossos ojos
Deja de llorar y suspirar
Besa me otra vez y es tre chame
Mexicali Rosa adios
