Romance in Durango |
| Hot chili peppers in the blistering sun |
| Dust on my face and my cape |
| Me and Magdalena on the run |
| I think this time we shall escape |
| Sold my guitar to the baker’s son |
| For a few crumbs and a place to hide |
| But I can get another one |
| And I’ll play for Magdalena as we ride |
| No Ilores, mi querida |
| Dios nos vigila |
| Soon the horse will take us to Durango |
| Agarrame, mi vida |
| Soon the desert will be gone |
| Soon you will be dancing the fandango |
| Past the Aztec ruins and the ghosts of our people |
| Hoof beats like castanets on stone |
| At night I dream of bells in the village steeple |
| Then I see the bloody face of Ramon |
| Was it me that shot him down in the Cantina |
| Was it my hand that held the gun? |
| Come, let us fly, my Magdalena |
| The dogs are barking and what’s done is done |
| No Ilores, mi querida |
| Dios nos vigila |
| Soon the horse will take us to Durango |
| Agarrame, mi vida |
| Soon the desert will be gone |
| Soon you will be dancing the fandango |
| In the corrida we’ll sit in the shade |
| And watch the young torero stand alone |
| We’ll drink tequila where our grandfathers stayed |
| When they rode with Villa into Torreón |
| Then the padre will recite the prayers of old |
| In the little church this side of town |
| I will wear new boots and an earring of gold |
| You’ll shine with diamonds in your wedding gown |
| The way is long but the end is near |
| Already the fiesta has begun |
| The face of God will appear |
| With His serpent eyes of obsidian |
| No Ilores, mi querida |
| Dios nos vigila |
| Soon the horse will take us to Durango |
| Agarrame, mi vida |
| Soon the desert will be gone |
| Soon you will be dancing the fandango |
| Was that the thunder that I heard? |
| My head is vibrating, I feel a sharp pain |
| Come sit by me, don’t say a word |
| Oh, can it be that I am slain? |
| Quick, Magdalena, take my gun |
| Look up in the hills, that flash of light |
| Aim well my little one |
| We may not make it through the night |
| No Ilores, mi querida |
| Dios nos vigila |
| Soon the horse will take us to Durango |
| Agarrame, mi vida |
| Soon the desert will be gone |
| Soon you will be dancing the fandango |
