[Intro] (Anvil strike: CLANG! Metal file scrapes: Chk-chk-scrape!) My name is Mateo. The furnace is high. They’re marrying my Rosa under tomorrow's sky. [Verse 1] (Limping Cumbia 2/4 Cadence) Hammer strikes the red steel: CLANG-CLANG-CLANG, That’s how my broken, angry spirit sang! They bought you a diamond and a golden gown, To take you away from our dusty town. File on the iron sparks: scrape-chiki-scrape, Forging your ticket for a midnight escape! [Pre-Chorus] (Accordion Swell & Anvil Tension) Blow the bellows! (fire) Strike before the dawn! Before the only girl I ever loved is gone! [Chorus 1] (Passionate Viral Hook) CLANG-SCRAPE-RUN! Rosa, take my hand! Fly across the borders of this greedy land! Springs on your heels made of fire and tin, This is where our freedom will begin! (¡Corre, Rosa! CLANG-SCRAPE-RUN!) [Verse 2] I toss the glowing shoes to your balcony floor, You won't have to cry in that mansion anymore! You lace up the iron, you step on the slate, Kicking down the pillars of the family gate! Accordion wheezes like a beating chest, Running toward the mountains of the wild, wild west! [Chorus 2] (Passionate Viral Hook) CLANG-SCRAPE-RUN! Rosa, take my hand! Fly across the borders of this greedy land! Springs on your heels made of fire and tin, This is where our freedom will begin! [Bridge] (Romantic Tension Solo: Anvil drops to half-time, accordion weeps, then explodes) The chapel bells start to ring . . . The guards start to shout . . . JUMP INTO MY ARMS! (CLANG!) [Chorus 3] (Final Triumphant Escape) CLANG-SCRAPE-FLY! Dance on the roof! Here is the living, breathing, fiery proof! Steel dancing shoes making sparks in the dust, In the heat of the hammer we put our trust! [Outro] CLANG. Scrape. The horses can't catch us now. Te amo, Rosa.
