Río de Tenampa
Los Super Seven Lyrics

I sat at a table and wrote a good song
I composed a great song while sitting at a table

About eyes as blue as the sea
The song was about someone whose eyes were as blue as the sea

Drank down the whisky
I consumed the whiskey

And let out a sigh
I exhaled a sigh

And thought of how things used to be
I reminisced about the past

Children played on the floor near the bar
Kids were playing on the floor of the bar

With toys made of wood and string
Their toys were created from wood and string

Lovers kissed and others laughed
Romantic couples were kissing while others were laughing

As the band would strum and sing
The musicians would strum and sing

Habla me Rio de Tenampa
Speak to me, Rio de Tenampa

Canta me canciones de valor
Sing me songs of valor

En este rincón del cielo
In this corner of the sky

Dejo mi cariño y amor
I leave my love and affection here

And I passed once a place we'd go
I previously passed a location we used to visit

To escape the heat of the day
To evade the strong heat during the day

Tell all the stories of good times and bad
Sharing stories of both happy and sad experiences

And hear the violins play
Enjoying the sound of the violins

Remember the story about the lady on the hill
Recalling the tale of the lady on the hill

Gave roses to an Indian boy
Who gifted roses to a Native American boy

Ran down to tell everyone he knew
He ran down to inform everybody he knew

About his love and his hope and joy
About his affection, aspirations, and delight

Rain now falls on a plaza in town
Currently, rain is pouring on a town plaza

At a fountain where mariachis sing
Where mariachis sing by a fountain

I wonder how long these memories would last
It makes me wonder how long these recollections will endure

And dream what tomorrow would bring
And ponder what the future holds
