paroles de chanson South of the Border - Mel Tormé

South of the border, down Mexico way
That's where I fell in love when the stars above
Came out to play
And now as I wander, my thoughts ever stray
South of the border, down Mexico way

She was a picture, in old Spanish lace
And for a tender while I kissed a smile upon her face
For it was fiesta and we were so gay
South of the border, down Mexico way

Then she sighed as she whispered "mañana"
Never dreaming that we were parting
And I lied as I whispered "mañana"
For our tomorrow never came

South of the border, I rode back one day
There in a veil of white, by candle light she knelt to pray
The mission bells told me that I musn't stay
South of the border, down Mexico way

Then she sighed as she whispered "mañana"
Never dreaming that we were parting
And I lied as I whispered "mañana"
For our tomorrow never came
