Los Lobos
The Lady And The Rose
On the barren slopes of a thousand hopesWhere a warm wind blowsTo a place where I could rest my bonesAll my life I've worked the earthFor what it's worthSun and dirt is all I've ever knownGone this way so many timesTo make the climbIn the way I always do and willBut this day I heard a soundAs I looked aroundAnd there she was standing on the hillBlue, the color of her flowing dressShe touched my head with a hand to blessI stood as if my legs had turned to stoneBrown, the color of her skin like mineSaid in a voice all too divine"From this day, son, you'll never be alone"The sweetest music filled the airGone were all my caresFelt like I was walking in a dreamLetras de cancionesSaid pick the roses from around her feetLike I had never seen"Take them down to all who don't believe"Blue, the color of her flowing dressShe touched my head with a hand to blessI stood as if I my legs had turned to stoneBrown, the color of her skin like mineSaid in a voice all too divine"From this day, son, you'll never be alone"
