Me Enamoré En La Cola de Las Tortillas

I arrived from school
I climbed the stairs
I threw my backpack
Midday heat

I sent my geometry homework
To be toasted
From the window all the houses
Smelled like food

They always sent me
For the tortillas
It was a routine to grab the napkin
And line up on the corner
Among maids and neighbors
It was midday, I saw you crossing the corner

"Little chicken, come eat"

I think I fell in love in the tortilla line
Plaid skirt above the knees
I would love to carry your backpack
Because I fell in love in the tortilla line

Days went by
You became my friend
They put me in the high school you attended

I never realized
That you grew every day
When we turned around
Recess was already over

We have three children and a house
In another neighborhood
There are no tortilla shops, no corner
Progress took it away
The good thing about this
Is that now we receive the tortillas
By mail

I think I fell in love in the tortilla line
Plaid skirt above the knees
I would love to carry your backpack
Because I fell in love in the tortilla line

I think I fell in love in the tortilla line
Plaid skirt above the knees
I would love to carry your backpack
Because I fell in love in the tortilla line
