Romance no Deserto

I have a mouth that burns like the Sun
My face and head are hot
With Madalena I'm leaving
Now nobody will catch us

I traded my guitar for a piece of bread
A hiding place and a brandy
But one day I'll get another guitar
And on the journey, I'll sing to Madalena

Don't cry, my dear, this desert ends
Everything happened and I don't even remember
Embrace me, my life, take me on your horse
We'll soon arrive in paradise

I see cities, ghosts, and ruins
At night, I hear your lament
They are nightmares and birds of prey
In the red Sun of my thoughts

Did I shoot the guy in the bar?
Did I hit his chest myself?
Come, let's fly, my Madalena
What's done is done, there's no turning back

In that shadow, I'll set up my hammock
And watch the lonely travelers
Drink, sing, and quench my thirst
Far away where everything is lush

Don't cry, my dear, this desert ends
Everything happened and I don't even remember
Embrace me, my life, take me on your horse
We'll soon be in paradise

The priest will say a very old prayer
Sunday in the farm chapel
Golden earrings and colorful boots
Both of us trapped in this legend

I hear thunder and think it's a gunshot
The dark night condemns me
I don't know if I'm alive, dying, or delirious
Quickly grab the gun, Madalena

There's a light behind that mountain
Aim, but don't miss, my little one
The night is long and there's so much land
We could be dead in another scene

Oh, don't cry, my dear, this desert ends
Everything happened and I don't even remember
Embrace me, my life, take me on your horse
We'll dance in paradise soon

Hmm, don't cry, my dear, this desert ends
Everything happened and I don't even remember
Embrace me, my life, take me on your horse
We'll dance in paradise soon

La-ra-la-ra, la-ra-la
Ah-la-ra-la-la-la
La-la-la
La-ra-ra-la-ra-ra
La-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra

We could be dead in another scene
