Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Desde el desierto
La cumbia del polvo
Desde el desierto
La cumbia del polvo
[Verse 2]
Dust in my hair, dust in my shoes
Dust in the cumbia, I'm dancing with you
Monsoon rains come, gonna wash us away
We'll be dancing in the mud till they take us away
Take us away
[Verse 3]
Desde el desierto
La cumbia del polvo
Desde el desierto
La cumbia del polvo
[Verse 4]
Living under a rock with lizards and things
Where the sun won't die and the summer never ends
Waiting for the moon to give me a sign
Then we'll roll downtown under the neon lights
[Verse 5]
Te pago la cuenta, mamá
Te abro la puerta acá
Tan solo recuerda, mamá
Te doy lo que quieras y más
[Verse 6]
La cumbia del polvo
(Échale más agua al caldo, papá)
La cumbia del polvo
(De Arizona pa'l mundo, cumbia)
[Verse 7]
Underneath the moonlight
Venture from the shadows
Dancing in Sonora
Hearts full of dust
[Verse 8]
Underneath the moonlight
Venture from the shadows
Dancing in Sonora
Hearts full of dust
[Verse 9]
Te pago la cuenta, mamá
Te abro la puerta acá
Tan solo recuerda, mamá
Te doy lo que quieras y más
[Verse 10]
Te pago la cuenta, mamá
Te abro la puerta acá
Tan solo recuerda, mamá
Te doy lo que quieras y más
[Verse 11]
Desde el desierto
La cumbia del polvo
Desde el desierto
La cumbia del polvo
Desde el desierto
La cumbia del polvo
