Lyrics
- 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
- 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
