The Eyes of Angeline



Her Argentine fam

Fled the dirty war

Escaped with no harm

Not knowing what’s in store

A new home for this teen

With the eyes of Angeline


Far from Buenos Aires

They made a life in LA

Found adversaries

Even made a record label

Yet steeped in Argentine

For the eyes of Angeline


Angeline had no fit

A non-mexican latin

Painted as snooty bitch

And cheered Argentine

Mysteries unforeseen

In the eyes of Angeline


Her jet black flowing hair

Draping a blouse of sheen

Young men would turn to see

A heart bursting at the seams

Beauty decked in blue jeans

With the eyes of Angeline


As they turned into Gringas

once a month they reached

telling tales of guerrillas

feasting upon gnocchi

An American dream

Through the eyes of Angeline.
