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 lonely 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.

VAYA CON DIOS
Nana Mouskouri
Vaya con dios mi vida
Vaya con dios mi amor
Se llegó ya el momento de separarnos
En silencio el corazón dice y suspira
Vaya con dios mi vida
Vaya con dios mi amor
Las campanas de la iglesia suenan tristes
Y parece que al sonar también te dicen
Vaya con dios mi vida
Vaya con dios mi amor
Adonde vayas tu, yo iré contigo
En sueños siempre junto a ti estaré
Mi voz escucharás, dulce amor mío
Pensando como yo estarás
Volvernos siempre a ver
La alborada al despertar feliz te espera
Si en tu corazón yo voy a donde quiera
Vaya con dios mi vida
Vaya con dios mi amor
Vaya con dios mi vida
Vaya con dios mi amor
