( 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 ( singing! )
Vaya Con Dios, my darling,
May God be with you my love

Where ever you may be, I'll be beside you ( beside you! )
Although you're many million miles away!
Each night I'll say a prayer, a prayer to guide you ( to guide you! )
To hasten every lonely hour of every lonely day

Now, the dawn is breaking through a gray tomorrow,
But the memories we share are there to borrow ( no sorrow! )
Vaya Con Dios, my darling,
May God be with you my love

Vaya Con Dios, my darling,
May God be with you my love

( Now the time has come to say goodbye! )
