- Verse:
- Mexicali rose, I'm leaving,
- Don't feel blue.
Mexicali rose, stop grieving,
- I love you.
When the dove of love is winging,
- Through 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.
Every night you'll know that I'll be pining,
Every 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.
