Los Lobos - Volver, Volver [Live]

As the song is playing, the camera follows a truck on the highway 75. Ramon is at the wheel, softly singing to the music on the radio. Driving by vast lowlands spread along the road, he passes a slim woman with a bright red backpack slowly running in the breakdown lane. She moves in long strides with the easy grace of a born athlete.

Ramon: (turning his head back) Nobody walks.... or runs.... Not here. Just cars, no people....

----------------------------------------

The same song is still playing.

In a small bedroom, sunlight filtering through broken blinds falls on a rumpled bed.
A naked woman is sitting atop a man, lying in bed. His eyes are bloodshot and vacant.

Alejandro: (pushing the woman off) Get out! ¡Grasa sucia puta, tu eres inútil!

Woman: No es culpa mia. You drink too much, Alejandro.

Alejandro: Vete de aquí. ¡Si usted dice que una vez más yo le mataré! I will cut your heart out! Get out, bitch!

The woman grabs her clothes and runs out.

Alejandro: ¡Yo no puedo dormir ya! No sleep, no fuck, no drink. Estoy maldecido... It?s that gringo, el diablo. Vi sus ojos muertos... He was dead... Estoy maldecido.

He gets off the bed and hits the wall to the adjacent room with his fist.

Alejandro: ¡Apaga la maldita musica, ahora!

Voice: ¡Si, si, jefe!

-----------------------------------------

Turning off the road into Snug Harbor, Ramon drives up to the office. As he gets out of the car he stops in disbelief seeing a woman standing at the closed door of the office, the bright red backpack at her feet.

Ramon: I saw you... When did you get here? How....

Woman: (flashing a quick and easy smile) In time, Ramon. All in good time.
