Magdalena

Interprete: Brandon Flowers
Disco: Flamingo

Letra de la canción:

Oh oh oh oh…

Please don’t tell me I can’t make it

It ain’t gonna do me any good

And please don’t offer me your modern methods

I’m fixin’ to carve this out of wood

From Nogales to Magdalena

There are 60 miles of sacred road

And the promise is made to those who venture

San Francisco will lift your load

Oh oh oh oh …

In the land of old Sonora

A shallow river valley cries

The summer left her without forgiveness

It’s mirrored in her children’s eyes

Prodigal sons and wayward daughters

Carry mandas that they might

Be delivered through the depths of darkness

And born again by candlelight

And born again by candlelight

Oh oh oh oh….

Blisters on my feet

Wooden rosary

I felt them in my pocket as I ran

A bullet in the night

A Federale's life

San Francisco do you understand?

Well tell him that I made the journey

And tell him that my heart is true

I’d like his blessing of forgiveness

Before the angels send their crew

And I will know that I am clean now

And I will dance and the band will play

In the old out cantina

Cups will runneth over the ancient clay

And if I should fall to temptation

When I return to the evil throes

From Nogales to Magdalena

As a two-time beggar I will go

Where I know I can be forgiven

For the broken heart of Mexico

oh oh oh…

Broken heart of Mexico

oh oh oh…

The Broken heart of Mexico
