La Jaunda

In Baya California

Down in Tijuana

La señorita come to me

She say, "Mi nombre es La Jaunda"

I asked her would she care to dance

She looked at me and said, "¿Cómo está?"

I say, "Hablo solo en Español y no comprendo Ingles"

I speak only the language of English

I don't understand Español

For a moment I took a notion

Then I went into a dancing motion

She nodded her head

"Y 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, "Hablo solo la lengua de Ingles y no comprenda Español"

I speak only the language of English

I don't understand Español

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 amor"

I say "Hablo solo la lengua de Ingles, no comprendo Español"

I speak only the language of English

I don't understand Español
