Lyrics of Flores y Tamales - Calexico

Flores y Tamales (original)

Desde que me fui guardaste tu querer
Paseando por el parque triste y sola hasta las diez
El trago mas amargo te dejo sin consuelo
Perdida y llorando a este lado del desierto
Pensaba existía el sueño que algun dia
Tendremos esa casita juntitos vida mía
Y amanezcamos juntos con flores y tamales
Festejando con tus risas cada rato, cada baile
Y amanezcamos juntos con flores y tamales
Festejando con tus risas cada rato, cada baile
Pero este cuento se acabó con la tierra que esperaba
Entre los matojos manchandome la cara
Y amanezcamos juntos con flores y tamales
Festejando con tus risas cada rato, cada baile
Y amanezcamos juntos con flores y tamales
Festejando con tus risas cada rato, cada baile
Mi cuerpo boca arriba, miraba hacia el sol
Creyendo que tus ojos me llamaban con dolor
Y amanezcamos juntos con flores y tamales
Festejando con tus risas cada rato, cada baile
Y amanezcamos juntos con flores y tamales
Festejando con tus risas cada rato, cada baile

(translation)

Since I left you kept your love
Walking through the park sad and alone until ten o'clock
The most bitter drink left you without consolation
Lost and crying on this side of the desert
I thought there was a dream that one day
We will have that little house together, my life
And let's wake up together with flowers and tamales
Celebrating with your laughter every time, every dance
And let's wake up together with flowers and tamales
Celebrating with your laughter every time, every dance
But this tale ended with the land that waited
Between the bushes staining my face
And let's wake up together with flowers and tamales
Celebrating with your laughter every time, every dance
And let's wake up together with flowers and tamales
Celebrating with your laughter every time, every dance
My body face up, looking towards the sun
Believing that your eyes called me with pain
And let's wake up together with flowers and tamales
Celebrating with your laughter every time, every dance
And let's wake up together with flowers and tamales
Celebrating with your laughter every time, every dance
