¡Happy Birthday Guadalupe!
Well, I woke up Christmas morning and what did I see:I saw a lovely señorita looking back at me,Named Guadalupe, with big brown eyes.Boy, what did you do this time?
Made my excuses and a beeline for the bedroom door,She was beggin’ and a-pleadin’, screamin’, ¡Por favor,Mi cumpleaños, stay with me.Baby, it’s cold outside!
We are livin’ in a difficult time,We’ve been walkin’ down a difficult line.Put your feet up, baby, it’s Christmas time.Cumpleaños feliz!¡Happy Birthday, Guadalupe!
(Our time will come.)(We both hold on.)
She gave me coffee and tortillas to console my head,Prepared the slippers on my feet before she made our bedAnd blew the candles from her favourite cakeAnd we kissed beneath the mistletoe.
I pulled her body close to mine and I had just one chance,I whispered, Baby will you marry me for just one dance?Infatuation, the things you say,I got scared and I left that night.
‘Cause we are livin’ in a difficult time,We’ve been walking down a difficult line.Put your feet up, baby, it’s Christmas time.Cumpleaños feliz!¡Happy Birthday, Guadalupe!
Deck the halls with rosaries,Wish upon a Christmas tree.Silent night, please, come to me.Carrying gifts from my… my Mexican angel.
At night I wake up cold and lonely, burstin’ at the seams,She haunts the early morning hours of December dreams,My Guadalupe, with big brown eyes.I wanna break the spell tonight.
‘Cause we are livin’ in a difficult time,We’ve been walking down a difficult line.Put your feet up, baby, it’s Christmas time.Cumpleaños feliz!¡Happy Birthday, Guadalupe!
