[English]

I spend my nights down on the wharf

In unlit alleyways

By the church downtown

Where Sally prays

Come down sometime

We'll share a rusty can of corn, yeah

And listen to the radio

I love you, I love you, it says

Where did your heart go?

Did you put it on a train?

Did you leave it in the rain

Or down in Mexico?

Where did your heart go?

Did you put it on a train?

Did you leave it in the rain

Or down in Mexico?

...

You cried but I don't know how

I've heard it all before

There it goes it again, the slamming of the door

Sometimes the river calls me

And at night it calls my name

Says "Put your troubles down beside me"

Things have always been the same

...

And rock 'n' roll won't teach me

What the river said that night

I jumped into this beauty

And drifted out of sight

Where did your heart go?

Did you put it on a train?

Did you leave it in the rain

Or down in Mexico?

Where did your heart go?

Did you put it on a train?

Did you leave it in the rain

Or down in Mexico?

...
