Lyrics

1. Mexicali Rose, I’m leaving, Don’t feel blue
Mexicali Rose, stop grieving, I love you
When the dove of love is winging, Thru the blue
All the castles you’ve been building will come true

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

2. Mexicali Rose, I’ll miss you, When I go
There’ll be times I’ll long to kiss you, That I know
All the while I’ll just be yearning, Lonesome too
Counting days ’till I’ll be returning, Dear, to you

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
