El Gringo
Carlos Sadness
The Gringo
They call me The Gringo when I walk on by
Through downtown Mexico City, La Condesa or Coyoacán
They call me The Gringo but they'll never know
That I’m not from there but I’m not from here either
I’m from nowhere, I’m from nowhere
No place is mine, I’m the river heading to the sea
I’m from nowhere, I’m from nowhere
I’m just the wind that comes and goes
Sometimes I think time has stopped
And it keeps moving for everyone else
I realize how far I’ve been
And then I feel like crying
When they see me pass by Sagrada Familia or La Plaza Real
Who’s gonna wait for me?, who’s gonna wait for me?
If you don’t wait for me, no one will wait for me
I’m from nowhere, I’m from nowhere
No place is mine, I’m the river heading to the sea
I’m from nowhere, I’m from nowhere
I’m just the wind that comes and goes
That comes and goes
That comes and goes
That let you pass because it always comes and goes
That comes and goes
That comes and goes
That let you pass because it always comes and goes
