South of the Border (original)

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.

(traducción)

Al sur de la frontera, camino a México.
Ahí es donde me enamoré donde las estrellas de arriba, salieron a jugar.
Y ahora, mientras me pregunto, mis pensamientos siempre se desvían.
Al sur de la frontera, camino a México.
Ella era una imagen, a la antigua usanza española.
Solo por un momento, besé la sonrisa en su rostro.
Porque era fiesta, y el amor tuvo su día.
Al sur de la frontera, camino a México.
Ay, ay, ay, ay (ay, ay, ay, ay)
Ay, ay, ay, ay (ay, ay, ay, ay)
Luego suspiró mientras susurraba manyana, nunca soñando que nos estábamos separando.
Y mentí mientras susurraba manyana, porque nuestro mañana nunca llegó.
Al sur de la frontera, cabalgué de regreso un día.
Allí, con un velo blanco a la luz de las velas, se arrodilló para orar.
Las campanas de la misión me dijeron que no debería quedarme.
Al sur de la frontera, camino a 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.
