Jimmy Buffett - I Want to Go Back to Cartagena lyrics
[Jimmy Buffett - I Want to Go Back to Cartagena lyrics]
I want to sail to the south right away
I need to hear vallenatos a la Victrola
Time, if you haven't noticed
Is still wasting away
I want to get lost in old Habana
I long to walk down the wide Malecón
Quiero hablar con los pescadores
Y oler las flores
And drive in a '56 Caddy right into the dawn
What am I doin'? Deja vu'in'
Still singing and swearing and
Wearing my traveling clothes
What am I sayin', can't imagine not playin'
Just show me the way to the
Bar and a nomad who knows
I have to get back to Ushuaia
The southern constellations are calling to me
I need to dance a midnight tango
Hear some Django
There's a boat waiting there
Bound for the far Tasman Sea
I want to go back to Cayo Hueso
Back where they sing the sun into the sea
I want to dance with circus gypsies
Talk with hippies
Where the past and the future still
Walk down that same sandy street
The importance of elsewhere is still
That important to me
Yes, the importance of elsewhere is
Still so important to me
I want to go back to Cartagena
