歌曲名 Tony y Maria(Album Version)

歌手名 Los Lobos

One hundred and fifty miles from Mexico to LA

Doesn't seem that far but still a world away

Went up to see her husband Tony

who left some years ago

He wrote to say come be with me

I miss and love you so

'And I promise that I'll care for you'

Wrote Tony to his wife

'Now and for the rest of my life'

Tony washes dishes

Maria she sweeps floors

The dreams that they once had well

they don't have them anymore

Instead she stares up at the ceiling

while most are fast asleep

She thinks about her babies

and prays the Lord their souls to keep

'We promised that we'd care for them'

Said Tony to his wife

'Now and for the rest of our lives'

One time late at night while looking at the sky

They saw a shooting star

burning silver and so bright

Said could this here be a sign

that it's time to go back home

'Cause even with you near me I still feel all alone

'We promised that we'd care for one another'

Said his wife

'Now and for the rest of our lives'
