South of the border, down Mexico way.
Selatan perbatasan, di jalan Meksiko.
That’s where I fell in love where stars above, came out to play.
Di situlah saya jatuh cinta dimana bintang-bintang di atas, keluar untuk bermain.
And now as I wonder, my thoughts ever stray.
Dan sekarang saat aku bertanya-tanya, pikiranku pernah menyimpang.
South of the border, down Mexico way.
Selatan perbatasan, di jalan Meksiko.

She was a picture, in old spanish ways.
Dia adalah foto, dengan cara Spanyol kuno.
Just for a tender while I kissed the smile, upon her face.
Hanya untuk tender sementara aku mencium senyum itu, di wajahnya.
For it was fiesta, and love had its day.
Karena itu adalah pesta, dan cinta ada pada waktunya.
South of the border, down Mexico way.
Selatan perbatasan, di jalan Meksiko.

Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay (Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay)
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay (Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay)
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay (Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay)
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay (Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay)

Then she sighed as she whispered manana, never dreaming that we were parting.
Lalu dia mendesah saat dia membisikkan manana, tidak pernah bermimpi kami berpisah.
And I lied as I whispered manana, for our tomorrow never came.
Dan aku berbohong saat aku membisikkan manana, karena besok kita tidak akan pernah datang.

South of the border, I rode back one day.
Di selatan perbatasan, saya kembali suatu hari.
There in a veil of white by candlelight, she kneeled to pray.
Di sana ada selubung putih dengan cahaya lilin, dia berlutut untuk sholat.
The mission bells told me, that I shouldn’t stay.
Lonceng misi mengatakan kepada saya, bahwa saya seharusnya tidak tinggal.
South of the border, down Mexico way.
Selatan perbatasan, di jalan Meksiko.

Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay (Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay)
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay (Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay)
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay (Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay)
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay (Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay)
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay (Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay)
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay (Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay)
Good bye good bye.
Selamat tinggal.
