[Verse 1]
DHot chili peppers in the blistering Asun
Dust on my face and my GcapeD,
Me and Magdalena on the Arun
I think this time we shall escGape.D  
[Verse 2]
DSold my guitar to the baker's Ason
For a few crumbs and a place tGo hiDde,
But I can get another oAne
And I'll play for Magdalena as we GridDe.
[Chorus]
    ANo llores, mi querida
    Dios nos vigila
    Soon the horse will take us to DuGranDgo.
    AgAarrame, mi vida
    Soon the desert will be gone
    Soon you will be dancing the fanGdanDgo.

DPast the Aztec ruins and the ghosts of our Apeople
Hoofbeats like castanets on GstoneD  
At night I dream of bells in the village Asteeple
Then I see the bloody face of GRamonD  
[Verse 4]
DWas it me that shot him down in the cantAina
Was it my hand that held the GgunD  
Come, let us fly, my MagdaAlena
The dogs are barking and what's done is GdoneD

And watch the young torero stand aGloneD  
We'll drink tequila where our grandfathers Astayed
When they rode with Villa into TorGreonD

DThen the padre will recite the prayers of oAld
In the little church this side of tGownD  
I will wear new boots and an earring of goAld
You'll shine with diamonds in your wedding GgownD

DThe way is long but the end is neAar
Already the fiesta has bGegunD  
The face of God will appAear
With His serpent eyes of oGbsidiDan

My head is vibrating, I feel a sharp GpaiDn
Come sit by me, don't say a woArd
Oh, can it be that I am sGlainD

DQuick, Magdalena, take my guAn
Look up in the hills, that flash of lGighDt
Aim well my little oAne
We may not make it through the GnighDt
