South of the border there's a small hacienda
Near the lake that's as blue as the mexican sky
Alita waits here for that happy manana
We swore that we'd share when i kissed her goodbye
She doesn't know that the judge said i'll never go home anymore
The room that i sit in has bars on the window and locks on the door
Got into a fight in laredo one night and i killed there you see
And when daylight comes the padre and wonder are coming for me

Adios alita our tomorrows are so far away
Jou te amou alita our mananas are over today

The jailyard is empty except for the scuffle
I see by the wall with a rope hanging down
The bright texas morning is still very quiet
The prayer of the padre is the only sound
Each step that i take leads me from my alita who's waiting for me
Tears fill my eyes as i think of our sweet love that never will be
I know you can't hear me but alita sweet alita it's time for goodbye
In a moment or so both the man and his true love are gonna die

Jou te amou jou te amou jou te amou jou te amou
Adios alita our tomorrows are so far away
Jou te amou alita our mananas are over today
