Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Las cruces de Tijuana by Jarabe de Palo from Spanish to English.

Las cruces que vi en tijuana
The crosses I saw in Tijuana
Me hicieron recordar
Made me remember
Las cruces que nadie puso
The crosses that nobody put
Entre Ceuta y Giblartar
Between Ceuta and Giblartar
Que los sueos desaparecen
That dreams disappear
Al llegar a la frontera
When arriving at the border
Lo eterna que puede ser una vista tan pequea
How eternal such a small sight can be
Las flores que vi en tijuana
The flowers I saw in Tijuana
Me hicieron recordar
Made me remember
Que flotan claveles negros
That black carnations float
Frente al puerto de Tarifa
In front of the port of Tarifa
Que poca es la diferencia
How little is the difference
Entre esperanza y tristreza, lo largo
Between hope and sadness, along
Que es el camino entre tu casa y la ma
What is the way between your house and mine
Si algn da vuelvo a tijuana
If someday I go back to Tijuana
Me gustara encontrar
I would like to find
Una rola que recuerde
A song that you remember
Que all hubo una frontera
That there was a border
Que no flotan claveles negros
That black carnations do not float
Frente al puerto de Tarifa
In front of the port of Tarifa
Que se calm la corriente
That the current calmed down
Entre Ceuta y Gibraltar
Between Ceuta and Gibraltar
Las luces que v en tijuana
The lights that I saw in Tijuana
Me hicieron recordar
Made me remember
Lo lejos que estn los sueos de su propia realidad
How far dreams are from your own reality
Que solo los pajaros cruzan sin mojarse la frontera
That only birds cross the border without getting wet
Que para el viento no existen ni pasaportes ni cercas
That for the wind there are no passports or fences
Si algn da vuelvo a tijuana
If someday I go back to Tijuana
Me gustara encontrar
I would like to find
Una rola que recuerde
A song that you remember
Que all hubo una frontera
That there was a border
Que no flotan claveles negros
That black carnations do not float
Frente al puerto de Tarifa
In front of the port of Tarifa
Que se ha construido un puente
That a bridge has been built
Entre Ceuta y Gibraltar
Between Ceuta and Gibraltar
Las cruces que vi en el muro me hicieron recordar
The crosses that I saw on the wall made me remember
