Como ustedes saben, el español es la lengua de amor
Y tal ves quieren saber, como lo aprendí
Pues fue así
Spanish is a lovin' tongue
Soft as music, light as spray
Was a girl, I learnt it from
Livin' down Sonora way
I don't look much like a lover
Yet I say her love words over
Often when I'm all alone
Mi amor, mi corazón
Nights when I knew that he'd ride
I would listen for his spurs
Fling the big door open wide
Raise them laughin' eyes of hers
And my heart would nigh stop beatin'
When I'd hear her tender greetin'
Whispered soft for him alone
Mi amor, mi corazón
Moonlight in the patio
Old señora, noddin' near
Me and Johnny talkin' low
So the madre couldn't hear
How those hours would go a flyin'
And too soon I'd hear her sighin'
In her little sorry tone
Mi amor, mi corazón
But one time he had to fly
For a foolish gamblin' fight
And he said a swift goodbye
In that black, unlucky night
When I'd loosed her arms from clingin'
With her words the hooves kept ringin'
As I galloped north alone
Mi amor, mi corazón
Never seen her since that night
I can't cross the line you know
Wanted for a gamblin' fight
Like as not, it's better so
Yet, I've always sort of missed her
Since that last wild night I kissed her
Left her heart and lost my own
Mi amor, mi corazón
Left her heart and lost my own
Adios mi corazón
