Romance in Durango Lyrics

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 bakers 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 llores, 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 whats done is done
No llores, 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
At 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 torreon
Then the padre will recite the prayers of old In the little church of this side of town I will wear new boots and an earring of a gold You'll shine with diamonds in your wedding gown
The way it is long but the end is near Already the fiesta has begun The face of God will appear With the serpent eyes of obsidian
No llores, 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 llores, 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
