She was once a living legend
And now her name is on a stone she is black and white, Gizela
Just like the cactus on her grave so strong she was
A mother and a father figure she gave everything when she had nothing, nothing to give But in those times there was no cure for dear Marchell Her first born child died and left her alone again
The life taker, drug addicts, card players
And empty body pleasure givers walking from the port
Sailors and mariners knocking on her diner doors
She was the anchor the were lying on
Looking in her a window all of life endeavors
I would like to know you better make you smile but you no longer here
The name that was once yours I'm holding in your memory, the chain you gave to me, oh…
I would like to know you better make you smile but you no longer here
The name that was once yours I'm holding in your memory, the chain you gave to me, oh…
