In looking for those lyrics, I came across Gina, a "half-Mexican/half-American from Calexico." Wow. She blogs mostly in English, then starts spouting off in Spanish when that fits the mood.
Of course, I am jealous of anyone who is so fluent in two languages. I know that being mixed ethnic has its disadvantages in this society, (I could only understand about 1/5 of the "You know you are LATINO if..." joke). However, most Americans do not know more than seven words in another language. I know about 72...
Back to Climax, here are part of those letras:
Mesa, Mesa, mesa que mas aplauda
Mesa que mas aplauda, mesa que mas aplauda
Le mando, le mando, le mando a la niña
And yes, I am aware of the slam on my motherland in the bridge....
