I Could Fall In Love (with an Ecuadorian woman)

I could fall in love

with an Ecuadorian woman

I could tell her nice things in English

Like she’s pretty, she’s sweet

That she’s fine

Fine as wine

That she’s mine o’ mine

I will call her Sandra

Lisa or Karina

And I will look into her eyes

and ask her to kiss me, kiss me

Because I’m in love

Because I’m alive

And we’ll walk the streets of Quito

Machala

Tena

Manta

Lago Agrio

We’ll walk the streets

In love

And I’ll say those things

Things I couldn’t say

in Tahoe, Flagstaff, L.A

I could fall in love

with an Ecuadorian woman

And we’ll dream of ghosts,

flowers,

revolution

We’ll eat dirt

Eat our sins

I’ll drink her rivers, eat empanadas

Locro

Caldo de Pata

Down chichi

And wait for her

to come home, home

I could fall in love

with an Ecuadorian woman

In Spanish

Spanglish

Jive

English

I really can
