El Huizache
Valentín Elizalde
The Mesquite Tree
my dear shorty
make up your mind to say yes to me
I don't know what you think
but I won't go without you
what fault does the mesquite tree have
for being born in the plain
every time
I come to see you
my passion increases more
it's because I carry you inside
inside my heart
what fault does the mesquite tree have
for being born in the plain
it's better to walk in huaraches
than with American shoes
what fault does the mesquite tree have
for being born in the plain
you told the confessor
that I loved you, I already knew
but your love was stolen from me
by the Virgin of Guadalupe
what fault does the mesquite tree have
for being born in the plain
every time I come to see you
my passion increases more
it's because I carry you inside
inside my heart
what fault does the mesquite tree have
for being born in the plain
it's better to walk in huaraches
than with American shoes
what fault does the mesquite tree have
for being born in the plain
what fault does my love have
for loving you so much
