In Baja California
Down in Tijuana
La senorita come to me
She say: Mi nombre es Luanda
I asked her would she care to dance
She looked at me and said: Como está?
I say: Hablo solo en Ingles
Y no comprendo Espanol
I speak only the language of English
I don't understand Espanol

For a moment I took a notion
Then I went into a dancing motion
She nodded her head
Yo mucho gusto, she said
And she danced with more devotion
When her cheek came close to mine
I could hear her softly whisper
She said: Habla solo la lengua de Ingles
Y no comprendo Espanol
I speak only the language of English
I don't understand Espanol

She placed her hand before my heart
And she whispered: Yo te amora
With half-closed eyes
She raised her lips
And she said: Besame ahora
She hold me close and she squeeze me tight
And she whispered: Yo quiero ahora
I say: Hablo solo la lengua de Ingles
No comprendo Espanol
I speak only the language of English
I don't understand Espanol
