lyrics

The Dogs of Sayulita
Running up to greet ya
The Dogs of Sayulita
Letting loose to free ya
Your Ghosts are in their eyes
 
A Louisiana spirit wakes up high afield
While dogs o the parish ground try
Chasing a fear phantom astray
She spreads his wings and fly away
 
Can your smile be any sweeter than when you dance in sand?           
Puede ser tu sonrisa más dulce que cuando bailas en la arena
 
If I lived inside the color of your eyes, could you still feel my embrace?                  
Si viví dentro del color de tus ojos, ¿aún me puedes abrazar?   
 
If Calypso caught the falling Ember would Stardust fill the sky?                           
Si Calypso detuvo las brasas cayéndose, ¿el polvo de estrellas cubrirá el cielo?
 
The Dogs of Sayulita
Letting loose to free ya
Your Ghosts are in their eyes
 
The land of lupino cries
Far beyond the Eastern Rise
A Los Muertos spirit makes a sound
Birds in the fold fly aground
 
Does the blue fairy grant all wishes or merely promise to cut the puppet strings.                       
¿El hada azul concede todos los deseos o simplemente promete cortar las cuerdas de la marioneta?
 
How far beyond, far behind, far across the turning line are we from Neruda?     
¿Qué tan lejos y tan atrás, estamos de donde dio vuelta Neruda?
 
Are we living in the 11th hour or are we 2 minutes too late?    
¿Estamos viviendo la onceava hora, o llegamos 2 minutos tarde?
 
The Dogs of Sayulita
Running up to greet ya
The Dogs of Sayulita
Letting loose to free ya
Your Ghosts are in their eyes
 
The wolf that you feed will be the one to win
 
How far does one have to run to leave the sun behind?              
¿Hasta donde ay que correr para dejar atrás el sol?
