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,____   May God be with you, my love.

Now the village mission bells are softly ringing,
If you listen with your heart, You'll hear them singing.
Now the time has come to part, The time for weeping, 
Vaya Con Dios, my darling,____   May God be with you, 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 ev-'ry linely day.

Now the dawn is breaking through a gray tomorrow,
But the memories we share__ are there to borrow.
Vaya Con Dios, my darling,____   May God be with you, my love.
