In 1862, Mexicans were elated
As the French army was decimated
Today is Cinco de Mayo
Tacos—free Pico de gallo!
The Battle of Puebla is celebrated
Emperor Maximillian was fooled
by the Mexicans he thought he ruled
Carlota the Queen, insane
Died in France from her pain
After a firing squad had ensued
Note: The Chapultepec Castle:
Maximilian and Carlota´s Love Story

A few moments together
The presence forgotten
The lies and deceptions
Pouring their shots in
I like to turn on time
Write a rhyme
Being careful of stolen ecstasy
It’s price higher than infidelity
But you pushed me away
And now all I’ve got is second best
I won’t even stay
Despite the ache inside my chest
I’m lost and outdriven
Like a son without a father
I miss all I can’t see
I’m lost without Carlota
