Calexico

Sirena

Calexico


To save this sad, lonesome cry 
Sorrow fills the oceans wide 
Calling you close, promising love 
Letting passion navigate you 

Into the arms of sirena 
Into the eyes of sirena 
Into the heart of sirena 
Dancing like ghosts, haunting the shore 

The old ones warn, stay away 
Her love is sweet, but sorrow too great 
Dreams of leaving her curse for good 
Rise from the sea as flesh and blood 

Still the wind carries her voice 
Fills all thoughts, sways your choice 
Drawn the fear, capsize the heart 
Till all passion navigates you 

Into the arms of sirena 
Into the eyes of sirena 
Into the haert of sirena 
Dancing like ghosts over the waves 
Safe in the harber of her embrace 

Bebe mi vino de amor 
Besos de kerosina 
Volvierdo el mar en infierno! 

To save this sad, tragic soul 
Sorrow's worse than the tide's pull 
Sinking deeper, gasping for love 
Till desire navigates you 

Into the arms of sirena 
Into the eyes of sirena 
Into the heart of sirena 
Dancing with ghosts under the waves 

And into the arms of sirena 
Into the eyes of sirena 
Into the heart of sirena 
Caught in the rip tide, smashed on the reef 
Joining the mass of bones underneath 
Falling deeper in love's illusion of sirena
