Romance in Durango Lyrics
The song Romance in Durango is performed by Bob Dylan .
Send Romance in Durango Ringtone to your Cell
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
