Romance In Durango Lyrics - Desire - Bob Dylan

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. 

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. 

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 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. 

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.
