Mexico

by gregorian

You could see me reaching
So why couldn't you have
Met me halfway
You could see me bleeding
But you could not put
Pressure on the wound
You only think about yourself
You only think about yourself
You'd better bend before I go
On the first train to Mexico
You could see me breathing
But you still kept
Your hand over my mouth
You could feel me seething
But you just turned
Your nose up in the air
You only think about yourself
You only think about yourself
You'd better bend before I go
On the first train to Mexico (x2)

Day before my birthday me and my cousin Dave
Drove his truck down to the border
And we hitchhiked the rest of the way
Down through Mexico
In the beginning we didn't have much luck
So we took all our things up upon a bus
It cost us three dollars just to get half way
Down through Baja California
We spent the night in a cheap hotel
Fourteen dollars, didn't sleep so well
And the morning came with bells on
And I took to the road with my cousin
Down through Mexico
We hitched a ride from an old pickup
And climbed in with the chickens in the back of the truck
I got to Tijuana by the middle of the day
Just in time to celebrate my twenty-first birthday
Chorus:
Well I'm a million miles away from home
And I can't find a telephone
My folks don't even know where I am
Hell I don't even know where I am
Well I'm a million miles away from home
And I can't find a telephone
My folks don't even know where I am
Hell I don't even know where I am
We got something to eat and then we took to the bars
A bottle of tequila and two fat cigars
We painted the town some sort of red
At some point a train drove through my head
Down in Mexico
Well at Five-AM we're still on our feet
A cop pulls over to the side of the street
He said something to me I couldn't understand
And threw me in the wagon, took the bottle from my hand
Well I'm still in the wagon at Six-AM
And I don't have a clue where I am
I don't speak Spanish all that well
I'm out of cash, and I'm drunk as hell
(Chorus)
Day after my birthday
Me and my cousin Dave
Drove his truck home from the border
Through California
Home from Mexico

Mi madre me encomendo a la Virgen de Guadalupe
Tome mi guitarra, mis cosas y me fui rumbo al norte
Cruce la aduana de Guatemala con mas miedo que ganas
Entre recojiendo las musas que dejaron tiradas
Chava Flores, Jose Alfredo y el mismo Agustin Lara
Y con los restos fui formando un Quien Diria
Y una Primera Vez, y estaba solo
Con un Jesus Verbo No Sustantivo en la garganta
Estaba en Mexico, sin un centavo
me sentia un hombre de exito
Mexico, uoh, Mexico, ouh
El destino me pinto el camino
que me trajo hasta aqui
No se si fueron los tequilas pero hable con Negrete
Aquella noche en el Tenampa que acabo al otro dia
Y en Division Del Norte tome un taxi que despues fue cancion
Estaba tan desesperado esperando su turno
Con una ensarta de canciones el Animal Nocturno
Y el miedo se convertia en respeto
por cantarles aqui en la misma tierra
De Manzanero, la Beltran y Pedro Vargas
Estaba en Mexico, sin un centavo
me sentia un hombre de exito
Mexico, uoh, Mexico, ouh
El destino me pinto el camino
que me trajo hasta aqui
Caminando el la Alameda, me platicaba una anciana
Pedro Infante esta vivo, pasa todas las mañanas
Y es que aqui, lo que se ama nunca muere
Mexico,
Sin un centavo me sentia un hombre de exito
Mexico
El destino me pinto el camino
mexico
mexico

לא היא לא
לא נשארת פה
היא תטוס איתו למקסיקו
עצובים הם חייה כאן
אין לה שום עניין לאבד פה זמן
לעוף
היא רוצה איתו
עד למקסיקו, לחצות את קו הים
לעוף
עד למקסיקו, שם לגור איתו
הדמעות יבשו עד שם
רק לעוף
עוד כאב מזדקן בלב
ורק הוא מבין ורק הוא אוהב
משונה כמו ציפור זרה
היא תפרוש כנפיה בדממה
לעוף
היא רוצה איתו
עד למקסיקו, לחצות את קו הים
לעוף
עד למקסיקו, שם לגור איתו
הדמעות יבשו עד שם
רק לעוף

Way down here you need a reason to move
Feel a fool running your stateside games
Lose your load, leave your mind behind, Baby James
Oh, Mexico
It sounds so simple I just got to go
The sun's so hot I forgot to go home
Guess I'll have to go now
Americano got the sleepy eye
But his body's still shaking like a live wire
Sleepy Senorita with the eyes on fire
Oh, Mexico
It sounds so sweet with the sun sinking low
Moon's so bright like to light up the night
Make everything all right
Baby's hungry and the money's all gone
The folks back home don't want to talk on the phone
She gets a long letter, sends back a postcard; times are hard
Oh, down in Mexico
I never really been so I don't really know
Oh, Mexico
I guess I'll have to go
Oh, Mexico
I never really been but I'd sure like to go
Oh, Mexico
I guess I'll have to go now
Talkin' 'bout it Mexico
In a honky-tonk down in Mexico
Oh, Mexico

Mexico

by Ibrahim Ferrer

In Mexico
I went for a walk to inhale
The tranquil, cool, lover's air
But I could taste a trace
Of American Chemical Waste
And the small voice said
What can we do? Oh
In Mexico
I went for a walk to inhale
The tranquil, cool, lover's air
But I could sense the hate
From The Lonestar State
And a small voice said
What can we do? Oh
It seems if you're rich and you're white
You think you're so right
I just don't see why
This should be so
If you're rich and you're white
You think youre so right
I just don't see why
This should be so
In Mexico
I lay on the grass
And I cried my heart out
For want of my love
Oh, for want of my love
Oh, for want of my love
Oh
It seems if you're rich and you're white
You think you're so right
I just don't see why
This should be so
If you're rich and you're white
You think youre so right
I just don't see why
This should be so
In Mexico,
I lay on the grass
And I cried my heart out
For want of my love
For want of my love
For want of my love
For want of my love

Up all day, a-thinkin' like crazy
I can't get sleep, I'm tired of waiting
Along come a bus with a ??? and a baby
??? and nobody's waving
C'mon pretty lady, put a bullet in my heart
Lay me on the streets and let the fiends rip me apart
??? muchacho, vamamos
I'm goin' down to Mexico
??? banditos
Cheap gold sheep's wool
Six-pack of Keystone
Lookin' like street folk
We don't need no
Power to the people
Heatstroke chico
One, two, three, four
??? banditos
Six-pack of Keystone
Smellin' like street folk
??? no chico

Good, I think it's heatstroke
Outside, inline
At the bus depot

(To be alone is to live in a frightening world. A place where fears and insecurities can eat away like acid at the confused mind. There are many such young people today - afterthoughts of broken homes and selfish, unthinking parents. The young can grow like seeking roots in tortured, twisted ways.)

Mexico

by Mary J. Blige

Well come on let's go,
And head off to Mexico,
And build our dreams on siestas of the day.
I'll take my guitar,
Who knows, it might get us far,
And we'll call each other by our fake names.
We'll restart our lives,
Cut the others off with lies,
You don't know how lucky we are.
But it's you, me and Mexico,
You, me and Mexico,
You, me and Mexico...
And my guitar.
We'll open that tequila bar,
And spend nights under the stars,
And we'll sing songs of salvation.
And when our tricks grow old,
We might be so bold as to think of things,
And broaden our reputation.
We'll restart our lives,
Cut the others off with lies,
You don't know how lucky we are.
But it's you, me and Mexico,
You, me and Mexico,
You, me and Mexico...
And my guitar.
I'll sing the melody line,
Watch you drinking wine,
And we'll say how life is pretty funny.
We'll busk our way there,
'cause we're the perfect pair,
And we'll find there's more to life then money.
We'll restart our lives,
Cut the others off with lies,
You don't know how lucky we are.
We'll restart our lives,
Cut the others off with lies,
You don't know how lucky we are.
But it's you, me and Mexico,
You, me and Mexico,
You, me and Mexico...
And my guitar.

In 1580 we sailed our little ship around the coast
Of Africa down the Gaza strip.
We took some salty bacon and a hammock for a bed.
Then we mixed it with the Spaniards in the middle of the Med.
Well we hired our funds
Saw the pretty girls a comin'.
There wasn't quite as many as there was a while ago
We hired some more and then we started runnin'
All down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.
Mexico, Mexico, Mexico, Mexico
Well Francis Drake said if you really want a fight
The best thing is to catch them in the middle of the night.
We hoisted anchor and powdered up the gun
Then we sailed around in circles and just waited for the fun.
Well we hired our funds
Saw the pretty girls a comin'.
There wasn't quite as many as there was a while ago
We hired some more and then we started runnin'
All down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Sing Mexico, Mexico, Mexico, Mexico
We cannon balls flew and the ship began to sink,
The water stated risin' so we really had to think.
And then by chance stood a man as black as coal
So we grabbed him by the trousers and we plugged hin in the hole.
Well we hired our funds
Saw the pretty girls a comin'.
There wasn't quite as many as there was a while ago
We hired some more and then we started runnin'
All down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Sing Mexico, Mexico, Mexico, Mexico
Well we fired from the side port and we fired from the back
And then we fired from the galley and through every little crack.
We fired so much that the cook started cooking.
Didn't have to worry so we flew the union jack.
Sing Mexico, Mexico, Mexico, Mexico

Mexico

by Queensryche

I wanna, I wanna, (Oh oh)
Go to Mexico!
A dusty road made of coblestone
The sun goes down
You're here alone
The day is hot
The night gets hotter
Won't you quinche your thirst on the local water? oh no
Yeah a music suite like a cool santana
You wring your sweat from your red bandana
Like a flash from the past to the pale green coast
This ain't Hollywood this is Mexico
I think I'm going down...
(Chorus)
I wanna, I wanna
Go to Mexico!
There's a time to stay, there's a time to go home.
I wanna, I wanna
Go to Mexico!
You cross the borderline with your best friend Danko.
Oh.....I wanna, oh oh go away oh, Mexico
I really wanna go now
Oh....I wanna, oh oh go away oh, Mexico
(end of chorus)
I wanna, I wanna,
Go to Mexico. (4x, but Mexico is yelled fourth time)
Oh.....I wanna, oh oh go away oh, Mexico
I really wanna go now
A smokey room, Senioretta
Spinning around, on straight daquila
It's all too fast when you're moving slow
This ain't Hollywood this is Mexico
And my head is spinning around...
(Chorus)
(except in Oh.... I wanna... lines, wanna is repeated twice and this keeps repeating)
Across the borderline!
Mexico, Mexico
They've got muchas, mucha-chas, amigos
...Latin features,never saw such adorable creatures
...Love to dig, ooh...the nights here
We live it up and love it up amigo
Life begins when you're in Mexico
You never order, water
When you order south of the border
...In to kiss a lovely senorita
Ooh.. the samba, la bamba
...I'll go where you go
Life begins when you're in Mexico
Mexico, Mexico
They've got muchas mucha-chas, amigos
...never saw such adorable creatures
We'll live it up and love it up amigo
Life begins...when you're in...Mexico...

Mexico

by Doors, The

I had a match, but she had a lighter
I had a flame, but she had a fire
I was bright, but she was much brighter
I was high, but she was the sky
Oh baby, I was bound for mexico
Oh baby, I was bound to let you go
I don't know much about cinco de mayo
I'm never sure what it's all about
but I say I want you, and you don't believe me
You say you want me, but I've got my doubts
Oh baby, I was bound for mexico
Oh baby, I was bound to let you go
I had a match, but she had a lighter
I had a flame, but she had a fire
I was bright, but she was much brighter
I was high, but she was the sky
Oh baby, I was bound for mexico
Oh baby, I was bound to let you go

by Neil Young

Hey!
Well, morning out of bed, the carpet's red, well I know
The flood has started
The day goes so slow in below my head
I should have stayed in bed
My love, well I have lost
I paid the cost
I know I gotta get ahead
We'll board a rendesvoux, the Spanish few
Well I drew a picture perfect path
So I die, We'd run
Though I haven't seen it yet viva Mexico
Then I'd lie in my bed, in my bed
I've been battered, you've been shuttered, we're both in tutters
I know it doesn't matter
Well, my days and nights are cluttered
Well I've discovered I'm unkind
I think I better find
My love ?? and we could swear that we'd run
To a better place
So come round I'll blow this town
Drinks are bound tip you down ??
Your hand in my hand
So I'd die, we'd run
Though I haven't seen it yet viva Mexico
Then I'd lie in my bed, once again
So I'd die, we'd run
Though I haven't seen it yet viva Mexico
And I'd lie in my bed, in my bed
Well, morning out of bed, the carpet's red
Well, I know a flood has started
?? and we could swear that we'd run
And find a better place
So I'd die, we'd run
Though I haven't seen it yet viva Mexico
Then I'd lie in my bed, once again
So I'd die, we'd run
Though I haven't seen it yet viva Mexico
Then I'd lie in my bed, in my bed, once again
In my bed, once again

All these people seem to want to run away
Always travel all the time, not belonging
I think its best you know
I think the story goes
Don't tell me if your leaving cause I don't wanna know
I'm letting you know
Then we go on living in such a style
remember when you came home and I was locked inside?
If its Mexico
I wish you wouldn't go
I don't wanna know if you're leaving or cant decide
I'm letting you know

Here comes another song about Mexico
I just can't help myself
I lost my old lady
Got my lures
Got my bobbers
Now I'm gonna go
Got off in the wrong direction
Found a hooker and lost my erection
So I had to lie
In the letter to the boys back home
Now the good guys and the bad guys
Never work past noon around here
They sit side to side in cantinas
Talk to senoritas
And drink warm beer
Here comes the same old verse about Mexico
We just can't help ourselves
So I had to lie
In the letter to the boys back home
Now the good guys and the bad guys
Never work past noon around here
They sit side to side in cantinas
Talk to senoritas
And drink warm beer
Here comes the same old verse about Mexico
We just can't help ourselves
We lost our old ladies
Got our lures
Got our bobbers
Now we're gonna go
Got off in the wrong direction
Found some hookers and lost my erections
And we had to lie
In the letter to the boys back home
So the good guys and the bad guys
Never work past noon around here
They sit side to side in Cantinas
Talk to senoritas
And drink warm beer
So the good guys and the bad guys
Never work past noon around here
They sit side to side in Cantinas
Talk to senoritas
And drink warm beer
We lost our old ladies
Got our lures
Got our bobbers
Now we're gonna go
Got off in the wrong direction
Found some hookers and lost my erections
And we had to lie
In the letter to the boys back home
So the good guys and the bad guys
Never work past noon around here
They sit side to side in Cantinas
Talk to senoritas
And drink warm beer
So the good guys and the bad guys
Never work past noon around here
They sit side to side in Cantinas
Talk to senoritas
And drink warm beer

She wants to go to Mexico
Guess I'm happy where I am
I'm talking to a boy who's ready to go
And he says he's got a master plan
I'll be alright on my own
Don't worry about me
Pack your bags, your alibis
And do whatever's gonna set you free
I never thought I'd be living without you
There's better things to do
Than doing something new
Just because its new
And takes away the blues
For a week or two
Before it comes back to haunt you
Thinkin' about flying to the gold desert
Where the sun never ceases to shine
Where the water is green
And the girls are blue
And the atmosphere is mine
I'll sing my songs for a couple of francs
And maybe a bottle of wine
Drinking the remnants of the Riviera
Dancing in the scape of time
I never thought I'd be living without you
There's better things to do
Than doing something new
Just because its new
And takes away the blues
For a week or two
Before it comes back to haunt you

Feel a fool
Running your stateside games
Lose your load
Leave your mind behind

Oooh, Mexico
It sounds so simple
I just got to go
The sun's so hot
I forgot to go home
I guess I'll have to go now
Americanos' got the sleepy eyes
But his body's still shakin' like a live wire
Senorita with her eyes on fire
Don't you know
Oooh, Mexico
It sounds so sweet
With the sun sinkin' low
The moon's so bright
Likes to light up the night
Make everything alright.
Baby's hungry and the money's all gone
The folks back home
Don't want to talk on the phone
She gets a long letter
And sends back a postcard
Times are hard.
Ooohh, down in Mexico
I've never really been
So I don't really know
Oooooh, Mexico
I guess I'll have to go now.
Oooh, Mexico
I've never really been
But, I'd sure like to go
Whoa, oooh Mexico

Smooth sailin' all the way
We got old Nordstrom, he's our chef
He's down in that galley cookin' up a
Barometer Soup for us
We gotta stop at our offshore Bank of Bad Habits
And make a deposit or a withdrawl
I don't know which one, y'know
We're goin' down to the land of the Mayans
eah, they were here long before the cavemen were
Cavemen in blue jeans
Uhh, excuse me, that's not Politically Correct
That's cavepersons in blue jeans
Skip Wiley and Skink, we may run into them
Up to no good down there
Watch out for those barefoot children
Stompin' around in those puddles
Ahh, yeah, and that remittance man
He's just goin' round and round
He may run into 'ol Frank Bama
Cruisin' around in the Hemisphere Dancer
I don't know, I might have my Long Board down there...

Owsley and Charlie, twins of the trade,
Come to the Poet's Room
Talking about the problems of a leaf,
And yes, it'll be back soon
There used to be tons of gold and green
Comin' up here from Mexico
A donde esta la planta, mi amigo, del sol?
[The translation is: Where is the plant, my friend, of the sun.]
But Mexico is under the thumb
Of a man we call Richard
And he's come to call himself king
But he's a small-headed man
And he doesn't know a thing
About how to deal for you
How to deal for you
There are millions of you now
I mean it's not as if you were alone
There are brothers everywhere
Just waiting for a toke on that gold
And God knows how far it can go
You're famous Uncle Charlie
For your Mexican smoke
You're a legend Owsley
For your righteous dope
There were a half a million people on the lawn
And we sang to their faces in the dawn
How long will that young race
Wait for the jailer's time to end?
How long will the Panther race
Wait for the iron bars to bend?
And no no no no no nobody waits.

Te vas, porque yo quiero que te vayas
a la hora que yo quiera te detengo
yo sé que mi cariño te hace falta
porque quieras o no, yo soy tu dueño.
Yo quiero que te vayas por el mundo
y quiero que conozcas mucha gente
yo quiero que te besen otros labios
para que me compares hoy como siempre.
Si encuentras un amor que te comprenda
y sientas que te quiere más que nadie
entonces yo daré la media vuelta
y me iré con el sol, cuando muera la tarde.
Entonces yo daré la media vuelta
y me iré con el sol, cuando muera la tarde...
SE ME OLVIDÓ OTRA VEZ (Juan Gabriel)
Ed. Mexicana de Música S.A.
Probablemente ya
de mí te has olvidado,
y mientras tanto yo
te seguiré esperando.
No me he querido ir
para ver si algún día
que tú quieras volver,
me encuentres todavía.
Por eso aún estoy
en el lugar de siempre,
en la misma ciudad
y con la misma gente;
para que tú, al volver,
no encuentres nada extraño,
y sea como ayer,
y nunca más dejarnos.
Probablemente estoy
pidiendo demasiado.
Se me olvidaba que
ya habíamos terminado,
que nunca volverás,
que nunca me quisiste.
Se me olvidó otra vez...
Y... (Mario de Jesús) Ed. Peer International Corp.
¿Y qué hiciste del amor que me juraste?
¿Y qué has hecho de los besos que te di?
¿Y qué excusa puedes darme si faltaste
y mataste la esperanza que hubo en mí?
¡Y qué ingrato es el destino que me hiere!
¡Y qué absurda es la razón de mi pasión!
¡Y qué necio es este amor que no se muere
y prefiere perdonarte tu traición!
Y pensar que en mi vida fuiste llama
y el caudal de mi gloria fuiste tú,
que llegué a quererte con el alma
y hoy me mata de tristeza tu actitud.
¿Y qué hiciste del amor que me juraste?
¿Y qué has hecho de los besos que te di?
¿Y qué excusa puedes darme si faltaste
y mataste la esperanza que hubo en mí?

Ay Jalisco no te rajes
me sale del alma
gritar con calor
abrir este pecho
pa’echar este grito:
que lindo es Jalisco,
palabra de honor.
En Jalisco se quiere de veras
porque es peligroso querer a las malas
por una morena echar mucha bala
y bajo la luna cantar en chapala
Pa’mujeres Jalisco primero
lo mismo en los altos que allá en la cañada
mujeres bonitas, rechulas de cara,
así son las hembras de Guadalajara.
Ay Jalisco no te rajes

gritar con calor
abrir este pecho
pa’echar este grito:
