A D IQS 
! Adios to thee, c 6ty of the dark-eyed gente. 
Land of "muoho calor" and dolce far niente, 
i Home of the wai ling donkey 
And the all-abounding flea, 
Mariana, Gracias a Dios, I bid adieu to thee. 
Farewell ye gloomy casas, "mejor dicho prison cell3 , 
u Ye dirty crooked calles, reeking with assorbfed^smells, 
Ye dirty little coffee shops and filthy pulperias, 
Stinking stables, dingy patios and fetid carierias. 
ti 
' Where beggars ride on horseback like Spanish cavalier^, 
And vagabonds perambulate like jolly grenadiers,. 
J Where Lavanderas wash the "ropa" when they feel inclined 
And hotel waiters strut about with shirt tail out behind 
Goodbye you Latin greasers '3u atento servidor, 
"Que vaya bien pues" , my boat is on the shore. 
Oh, dirty people, dirty houses, despicable spot, 
Departing. I salute thee in your filthiness and. rot. 
Steaming and streaming with boiling phespfrntion. 
Seething and breathing with hurried respiration, 
Adios forever, Tierra tan caliente , 
Infernal clime of viCious rum and fiery aguardiente.
