South Of The Border (Down Mexico Way)
South of the border, down Mexico way.
That's where I fell in love where stars above, came out to play.
And now as I wonder, my thoughts ever stray.
South of the border, down Mexico way.
She was a picture, in old spanish ways.
Just for a tender while I kissed the smile, upon her face.
For it was fiesta, and love had it's day.
South of the border, down Mexico way.
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay (Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay)
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay (Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay)
Then she sighed as she whispered manyana, never dreaming that we were parting.
And I lied as I whispered manyana, for our tomorrow never came.
South of the border, I rode back one day.
There in a veil of white by candlelight, she kneeled to pray.
The mission bells told me, that I shouldn't stay.
South of the border, down Mexico way.
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay (Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay)
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay (Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay)
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay (Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay)
Good bye good bye.
Sur de la frontera (por el camino de México)
Al sur de la frontera, hacia México
Ahí es donde me enamoré donde las estrellas arriba, salieron a jugar
Y ahora como me pregunto, mis pensamientos se han perdido
Al sur de la frontera, hacia México
Era una foto, a la antigua manera española
Sólo por un tierno mientras besaba la sonrisa, en su cara
Porque era fiesta, y el amor tenía su día
Al sur de la frontera, hacia México
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay (ay, ay, ay)
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay (ay, ay, ay)
Luego suspiró mientras susurraba a Manyana, sin soñar que nos separábamos
Y mentí mientras susurraba Manyana, porque nuestro mañana nunca llegó
Al sur de la frontera, regresé un día
Allí, en un velo de blanco a la luz de las velas, se arrodilló para orar
Las campanas de la misión me dijeron que no debía quedarme
Al sur de la frontera, hacia México
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay (ay, ay, ay)
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay (ay, ay, ay)
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay (ay, ay, ay)
Adiós, adiós
