La Mexicana

Still thinking about what you'll do,
where you'll be and what you'll say
and even though we're not talking anymore,
my life is a conversation with you,
wherever you are.
Let me explain, my life,
the reason behind what I'm doing.
The reason...

I have a job at Citibank,
I live on La Collins by the sea.
I go out on weekends.
I go to the movies on Sundays after smoking.
I haven't gotten drunk again.
I listen to El Recodo and your memories don't hurt me
And I know...

Just like I promised,
I'm drinking now for myself.
I didn't call you back
and I won't ever do it again.
And even though reason rewards me
and I learned to control my heart...
at night, every now and then, I think of you.
At night, every now and then, I think of you.
At night, every now and then...

How many songs of pain
do you owe to this heart?
What I owe you:
the career of a banker, poet,
and fox and dolphin.
There's no more fear for me,
I'm sure there's nothing darker
than forgetting you.

Just like I promised,
I'm drinking now for myself.
I didn't call you back
and I won't ever do it again.
And even though reason rewards me
and I learned to control my heart...
at night, every now and then, I think of you.
At night, every now and then, I think of you.
At night, every now and then...

Time goes by and everything's getting better.
Getting to know myself and other women
who like who I am.
Who like this guy
that I invented for you in my mind.

And even though reason rewards me
and I learned to control my heart...
at night, every now and then, I think of you.
At night, every now and then, I think of you.
