LLETRA EN ANGLÈS
She blew into this old one horse town
Like something we ain't never seen
Old Bill hired her at the Sundown Grill
She tied that apron 'round her jeans
I started hanging out there every night
Just to hear her talk and laugh
I couldn't help but fall in love with her
I should've known it wouldn't last
She always talked about Mexico
I never thought that she would really go
I thought my love could make her settle down
I guess I know better now
She's probably living down there by the sea
I wonder if she ever thinks of me
One morning she was gone like the wind
She won't be back this way again
Old Bill could tell that I was missing her
As he poured me a drink
Said if you put a wild bird in a cage
You'll break it's will to sing
If that's true then she's better off
Still out there wild and free
So I bought straight tequila all around
Said,"Boy,here's to her memory"
She always talked about Mexico
I never thought that she would really go
I thought my love could make her settle down
I guess I know better now
She's probably living down there by the sea
I wonder if she ever thinks of me
One morning she was gone like the wind
She won't be back this way again
TRADUCCIÓ APROXIMADA AL CATALÀ (Per Countrycat)
Va arribar a aquesta vella ciutat solitària
No havia vist mai una cosa igual
L'Old Bill la va contractar al Sundown Grill
Es va lligar el davantal als seus texans
Vaig començar a frequentar el local cada nit
Només per sentir-la parlar i riure
No vaig poder evitar d'enamorar-me d'ella
Hagués hagut de saber que no duraria
Ella sempre parlava de Mexico
Mai vaig pensar que hi aniria de debó
Creia que el meu amor la faria quedar
Crec que ara ho sé millor
Probablement estarà vivint aprop del mar
Em pregunto si algun cop pensa en mi
Un matí va marxar com el vent
Mai tornarà per aquí
L'Old Bill pot dir que la trobava a faltar
Com em servia la beguda
Deia que si poses un ocell salvatge a una gàbia
Deixarà de cantar
Si això és veritat, és millor que hagi marxat
Que segueixi lliure
Vaig convidar a tothom a una ronda de tequila
Vaig dir,"Tio, per la seva memòria"
Ella sempre parlava de Mexico
Mai vaig pensar que hi aniria de debó
Creia que el meu amor la faria quedar
Crec que ara ho sé millor
Probablement estarà vivint aprop del mar
Em pregunto si algun cop pensa en mi
Un matí va marxar com el vent
Mai tornarà per aquí
