The Tide
If you are my brother,
let me be your little ranch.
If you are my cactus,
let me be your taco.
To fill the belly, mama,
belly full of suadero.
With all the little onions,
mama, let's go eat.
Let's go have fun,
mama, let's go now.
The tide is rising,
mama, let's go now.
Through old Sonora the tide is rising.
Through old Sonora the drops are falling heavily.
Shrimp soup is carried away by the current.
Shrimp soup the tide is rising.
Rising mama,
the tide is rising.
Rising mama,
it's rising, oh what a tide!
If you are my brother,
let me be your little ranch.
If you are my cactus,
let me be your taco.
Let's go have fun,
mama, let's go now.
The tide is rising,
mama, let's go now.
Today I was afraid of my shadow,
there in the corner of the Raval.
Today I was afraid of my shadow,
so I lay down under the sun.
Mama, the tide is rising.
Mama, it's rising, what a tide.
(nothing is forever)
