Selatan perbatasan di jalan Meksiko
That?s where I fell in love
Di situlah aku jatuh cinta
When stars above came out to play
Saat bintang di atas keluar untuk bermain
And now as I wander
Dan sekarang saat aku mengembara
My thought ever stray
Pikiran saya pernah menyimpang
South of the border down Mexico way.
Selatan perbatasan di jalan Meksiko.
She was a picture in old Spanish lace
Dia adalah foto renda Spanyol kuno
Just for a tender while
Hanya untuk tender sementara
I kissed the smile upon her face
Aku mencium senyum di wajahnya
for it was Fiesta and we were so gay
Karena itu adalah Fiesta dan kami sangat gay
South of the border down Mexico way.
Selatan perbatasan di jalan Meksiko.
Then She sighed as she whispered manana
Lalu dia mendesah saat dia membisikkan manana
Never dreaming that we were parting
Jangan pernah bermimpi kita berpisah
And I lied when I whispered manana
Dan aku berbohong saat aku membisikkan manana
For our tomorrow never came,
Karena besok kita tidak akan pernah datang,
South of the border I rode back one day
Di selatan perbatasan aku kembali suatu hari
There in a viel of of white
Ada dalam warna putih
By candle light she knelt to pray
Dengan cahaya lilin ia berlutut untuk berdoa
The mission bells told me
Lonceng misi mengatakan kepada saya
That I mustn?t stray
Bahwa aku tidak menyimpang
South of the border down Mexico way.
Selatan perbatasan di jalan Meksiko.
