lyrics

Anduvo por Mexicali
en un bochito trepada
repartiendo Tupperwares
nos vendia y otros fiaba

Nunca le midio el aceite
ni le cambio bateria
a veces se le apagaba
a veces nunca prendia

Maria nunca fue conforme
le hacia cosquillas el norte
le tuvo miedo al coyote
y entro con un pasaporte

Venia con el gusanito
de hacer viajes a Las Vegas
donde los casinos pagan
con lo mismo que otros juegan

Tenia bastante perico
y era muy inteligente
quien sabe como le haria
pero convencia a la gente

Esa carretera quince
se la sabe de memoria
tantas idas y venidas
ya no caben en la historia

Adios Mariquita Vega
de tu pasaje me alejo
tu bocho de Mexicali
se fue para el fierro Viejo


English Translation:

She roamed through Mexicali
Climbed inside a buggy
Distributing Tupperware
Some sold, some on credit

Never measured the oil
Or changed the battery
Sometimes it’d turn off
Sometimes it’d never start

Maria was never content
The north tickled her
But she feared the coyote
So she entered with a passport

She came with the idea
Of making trips to Las Vegas
Where the Casinos pay
With what others gamble

She carried a lot of blow
And was very smart
Who knows how she did it
But she had a way of convincing people

The Interstate 15
She knows it by heart
All the comings and goings
Don’t fit in this story

Goodbye Mariquita Vega
From your story I depart
And your buggy from Mexicali
Has gone to the old junkyard
