Through lantern-lit streets where shadows fall A mariachi wanders, his heart enthralled Strumming chords in a distant land A guitar sings what words can’t understand Kimono sways, a fleeting glance Neon lights, a midnight dance Echoes of home in every tune Under japan's bright silver Moon Mariachi, lost but alive Playing songs where cultures collide A tale of love, a world apart Strings of sorrow, straight to the heart Mariachi, a dream untold Blending the new with the old Cherry blossoms drift on a gentle breeze He hums of deserts, cacti, and seas Yet in this land of quiet grace He finds a warmth, a soft embrace Kimono sways, a fleeting glance Neon lights, a midnight dance Echoes of home in every tune Under japan's bright silver Moon Mariachi, lost but alive Playing songs where cultures collide A tale of love, a world apart Strings of sorrow, straight to the heart Mariachi, a dream untold Blending the new with the old Mariachi, lost but alive Playing songs where cultures collide A tale of love, a world apart Strings of sorrow, straight to the heart Mariachi, a dream untold Blending the new with the old Under paper lantern skies He feels the world through different eyes The koto joins his melody Together they craft a symphony Mariachi, a dream untold Blending the new with the old Through japan’s streets, he'll always roam Carrying the music that feels like home
