( now the hacienda’s dark, the town is sleeping,
Now the time has come to part,
The time for weeping! )
Vaya con dios, my darling,
May god be with you my love . . .
Now, the village mission bells are softly ringing,
If you listen with your heart you’ll hear them singing ( . . . singing! )
Vaya con dios, my darling,
May god be with you my love . . .
Where ever you may be, i’ll be beside you ( . . . beside you! )
Although you’re many million miles away!
Each night i’ll say a prayer, a prayer to guide you ( . . . to guide you! )
To hasten every lonely hour of every lonely day . . .
Now, the dawn is breaking through a gray tomorrow,
But the memories we share are there to borrow ( . . . no sorrow! )
Vaya con dios, my darling,
May god be with you my love . . .
Vaya con dios, my darling,
May god be with you my love . . .
( now the time has come to say goodbye! )
