South Of The Border (Down Mexico Way)

Al sur de la frontera, hacia México
South of the border, down Mexico way.
Ahí es donde me enamoré donde las estrellas arriba, salieron a jugar
That's where I fell in love where stars above, came out to play.
Y ahora como me pregunto, mis pensamientos se han perdido
And now as I wonder, my thoughts ever stray.
Al sur de la frontera, hacia México
South of the border, down Mexico way.

Era una foto, a la antigua manera española
She was a picture, in old spanish ways.
Sólo por un tierno mientras besaba la sonrisa, en su cara
Just for a tender while I kissed the smile, upon her face.
Porque era fiesta, y el amor tenía su día
For it was fiesta, and love had it's day.
Al sur de la frontera, hacia México
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)
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay (Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay)

Luego suspiró mientras susurraba a Manyana, sin soñar que nos separábamos
Then she sighed as she whispered manyana, never dreaming that we were parting.
Y mentí mientras susurraba Manyana, porque nuestro mañana nunca llegó
And I lied as I whispered manyana, for our tomorrow never came.

Al sur de la frontera, regresé un día
South of the border, I rode back one day.
Allí, en un velo de blanco a la luz de las velas, se arrodilló para orar
There in a veil of white by candlelight, she kneeled to pray.
Las campanas de la misión me dijeron que no debía quedarme
The mission bells told me, that I shouldn't stay.
Al sur de la frontera, hacia México
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)
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
Good bye good bye.
