Frank Sinatra - South Of The Border (Come Fly With Me)
Writer(s): Kennedy/Carr
South of the border - down Mexico way
That's where I fell in love, where the stars above - came out to play
And now as I wander - my thoughts ever stray
South of the border - down Mexico way
She was a picture - in old Spanish lace
Just for a tender while, I kissed a smile - upon her face
'Cause it was fiesta - and we were so gay
South of the border - Mexico way
Then she smiled as she whispered "manjanna"
Never dreaming that we were parting
Then I lied as a whispered "manjanna"
'Cause our tomorrow never came
South of the border - I jumped back one day
There in a veil of white, by the candle light - she knelt to pray
The mission bells told me (ding-dong) - that I musn't stay
South of the border - Mexico way
Disley is right. We have benefitted from this colonization by the British as it brought us and gave us some modernization and efficient civil service by bringing in lots of civil servants from India. But the Brits have a very evil trait which is their mode of management - DIVIDE AND RULE- they would put the Burmese against the ethnic races like the Shans, Kachins, Kayins, Chins, Yakhine, etc. Very similar to the way they put the muslims against the Hindus in India, one of their former colonies.

So actively bad its a classic (or an antique). Just prooves even old blue eyes sometimes got it wrong. I also admit I never liked the original poem as it is patronising (to put it mildly). Probably considered good in 1907 when we in Britain thought we had a divine right to rule half the world. Wonderful pictures though.

This is actively bad. It has nothing to do with Rudyard Kipling or his sensibilities. I say this as an American. What do the Brits say? Thanks, Koalkracker.
