In Baya California
Down in Tijuana
La senorita come to me
She say «Mi nombre es La Jaunda»
I asked her would she care to dance
She looked at me and said «Como esta?»
I say «Hablo solo en Ingles
Y no comprendo Espanol»
I speak only the language of English
I don’t understand Espanol
For a moment I took a notion
Then I went into a dancing motion
She nodded her head
«Yo 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 «Habla solo la langua de Ingles
Y no comprenda Espanol»
I speak only the language of English
I don’t understand Espanol
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 ahora»
I say «Hablo solo la langua de Ingles
No comprendo Espanol»
I speak only the language of English
I don’t understand Espanol
