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

Vaya con dios, my love



Now the village mission bells are softly ringing

If you listen with your heart

You'll hear them singing



Vaya con dios, my darling

Vaya con dios, my love



Wherever you may be, I'll be beside you

Although you're many million dreams away

Each night I'll say a pray'r

A pray'r 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



Vaya con dios, my darling

Vaya con dios, my love



-- musical interlude --



Vaya con dios, my darling

Vaya con dios, my love
