Seratus lima puluh mil dari Meksiko ke LA
Doesn’t seem that far but still a world away
Sepertinya tidak jauh tapi masih jauh dari sini
Went up to see her husband Tony
Pergi menemui suaminya Tony
Who left some years ago
Siapa yang meninggalkan beberapa tahun yang lalu
He wrote to say come be with me
Dia menulis untuk mengatakan ikut dengan saya
I love and miss you so
Aku sangat mencintai dan merindukanmu
And I promise that I’ll care for you
Dan aku berjanji akan merawatmu
Wrote Tony to his wife
Membawakan Tony kepada istrinya
Now and for the rest of my life
Sekarang dan selama sisa hidupku
Tony washes dishes, Maria she sweeps floors
Tony mencuci piring, Maria dia menyapu lantai
The dreams that they once had
Mimpi yang pernah mereka miliki
Well they don’t have them anymore
Yah mereka tidak memilikinya lagi
Instead she stares up at the ceiling
Sebagai gantinya dia menatap langit-langit
While most are fast asleep
Sementara kebanyakan tertidur lelap
She thinks about her babies
Dia memikirkan bayinya
And prays the lord their souls to keep
Dan doakanlah junjungan yang harus dijaga jiwa mereka
We promised that we’d care for them
Kami berjanji bahwa kami akan merawat mereka
Said Tony to his wife
Kata Tony kepada istrinya
Now and for the rest of our lives
Sekarang dan selama sisa hidup kita
One time late at night while looking at the sky
Suatu saat larut malam sambil menatap langit
They saw a shooting star burning silver and so bright
Mereka melihat bintang jatuh terbakar dan sangat terang
Said could this here be a sign
Katanya bisa disini ini pertanda
That it’s time to go back home
Sudah waktunya pulang
‘Cause even with you near me
Karena bahkan bersamamu di dekatku
I still feel all alone
Aku masih merasa sendirian
We promised that we’d care for one another
Kami berjanji bahwa kami akan saling menyayangi
Said his wife
Kata istrinya
Now and for the rest of our lives
Sekarang dan selama sisa hidup kita
