Brian Burns - Evangelina [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

(Hoyt Axton & Kenneth Higginbotham)
And I dream in the mornin' she brings me water
And I dream in the evenin' she brings me wine
Just a poor man's daughter from Puerta Pen~asco
Evangelina... in Old Mexico
There's a great hot desert south of Mexicali
And if you don't have water, boy, you better not go
Tequila won't get you across that desert
To Evangelina... in Old Mexico

BRIDGE:
And the fire I feel for the woman I love is drivin' me insane
Knowin' she's waitin' and I can't get there
Lord only knows that I rack my brain to try and find a way
To reach that woman... in Old Mexico
And I met a kind man, he guarded the border
He said, "you don't need papers, I'll let you go
I can tell that you love her by the look in your eyes, son
She's the rose of the desert... in Old Mexico."
REPEAT BRIDGE
And I dream in the mornin' she brings me water
And I dream in the evenin' she brings me wine
Just a poor man's daughter from Puerta Pen~asco
Evangelina... in Old Mexico
