Romance in Durango  
Bob Dylan
 
D A G D A G D 
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 baker's 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.
   CHORUS: A G D A G D
   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 / Hoofbeats 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 what's done is done.
   CHORUS:
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 Torre6n.
Then the padre will recite the prayers of old / In the little church this side of town.
I will wear new boots and an earring of gold / You'll shine with diamonds in your wedding gown.
The way is long but the end is near / Already the fiesta has begun.
The face of God will appear / With His serpent eyes of obsidian.
   CHORUS:
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.
   CHORUS:
