On the boulevard of broken dreams
_____
Lives a lady in a red poncho
_____
Silver hair and brown skin
_____
Fiery mestiza with a free tongue
_____
Brave cat with tiger skin
_____
And a voice like a full-moon beam
_____
Along the boulevard of broken dreams
_____
Earthquakes just pass by
_____
And there's a tequila for every doubt
_____
When Agustín sits at the piano
_____
Diego Rivera, pencil in hand
_____
Sketches Frida Kahlo nude
_____
She escaped from a prison of love
From a thousand sleepless nights
_____
She left her heart in Madrid
_____
Along the boulevard of broken dreams
_____
Disconsolate go the devotees
_____
Of Saint Anthony begging for kisses
_____
Put your hand here, Macorina
_____
Your faithful pray through the cantinas
_____
Black Dove of excesses
_____
Along the boulevard of broken dreams
_____
A tear soaks old photos
_____
And a song makes fun of fear
_____
Bitternesses aren't bitter
_____
When Chavela Vargas sings them
_____
And some José Alfredo writes them
_____
She escaped from a prison of love
From a thousand sleepless nights
_____
She left her heart in Madrid
_____
She escaped from a prison of love
_____
From an alcohol delirium
From a thousand sleepless nights
_____
She left her heart in Madrid
