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
