ON A HILL IN EAST L.A.
THERE’S A LANDMARK HIGHLY FAVORED
AND THE MEMORIES THAT ARE SPOKEN
TO OUR CHILDREN AND OUR NEIGHBORS
BRING TO LIFE THE RHYTHMS OF THE BANDSTAND
AND THE FEET THAT FILLED THE FLOOR
ABOVE THE WHISPERS OF THE WALLFLOWERS
A MARIACHI TRUMPET SOARS

EN LA CASA DEL MEXICANO
EVERYDAY’S THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING
HIGH ON A HILL THERE UNDER THE MOONLIGHT
OUR YOUNG HEARTS LEARNED TO SING

EVERY NIGHT FROM DUSK TILL DAWN
ROMANCE AND MUSIC TOUCHED OUR HEARTS
I CAN STILL SMELL HER PERFUME
AS WE DANCED THERE IN THE DARK
“CERCA DEL MAR” FLOATING IN THE DISTANCE
LOSING MYSELF INSIDE HER EYES
ABOVE THE WHISPERS OF THE WALLFLOWERS
I ASKED HER TO BE MY BRIDE

EN LA CASA DEL MEXICANO
EVERY NIGHT’S A NEW SURPRISE
AND EVERY TURN ON THE DANCE FLOOR
ANOTHER STEP CLOSER, CLOSER TO PARADISE

EL RECUERDO DE ESE TIEMPO
ILUMINA A MI CORAZON
COMO ESTRANO AQUIEL AMBIENTE
Y LA ALEGRIA DE SU CANCION
PERDIENDOME EN TUS OJOS
ARDIENTE Y SUTIL COLORES
SOBRE LOS SECRETOS DE LA PARED
EN LA FERIA DE LAS FLORES

EN LA CASA DEL MEXICANO
CONOSI A MI GRAN AMOR
EN EL JARDIN DE MI SUENOS
ABRAZANDO A SU PRIMOR

“UN BESITO CORAZON”
