[Verse 1]
Come sing a melody, 'cause tonight, I cross the border
There's no work here for us, so tonight, I cross the border

[Verse 2]
Come sit and drink with me, and we'll toast to the old days
Walk down the darkened streets, to the old and empty plaza

[Verse 3]
There's no-one left at home, 'cept the old, the widows and the Traficantes
The tourists have all gone home, and the priests have abandoned their stations

[Verse 4]
So please keep my children safe, and away from harm
Pray to the saints that I make it home to see my family

[Verse 5]
Come sing me a melody, 'cause tonight I cross the border
There's nothing here for us, so tonight I cross the border
