Lyrics
When life's demands and obligations are abounding
And the price you have to pay exceeds returns
When your surroundings do not fit your disposition
You need a town, you can rely on this I've learned
CHORUS
Come to Sierra Madre, pueblo paqueno de descanso
You can have the moutains in your own back yard
Here in Sierra Madre, conocemos un secreto
It's not a good idea to sleep in late
But don't work... don't work too hard
Well the City of the Angels is near by
And you can go there, then easily leave it behind
And if you're fortunate, you can work right in your home
But first take a walk in the canyon
And say a prayer for those you call your own
CHORUS
There's a saying here that if you've lived here then moved away
That the time will come, when you'll return someday
Everybody I believe needs a home town to call their own
Ah Sierra Madre, un lugar especial en mi corazon.
CHORUS
.... We must remember not to make the simple life too hard
