I went down to Mexico to learn to do the tango
She came to me with tequila
That lovely senorita
They played Confesion, the feeling all was wrong
But I was not dismayed
When Mi Noche Triste played
I fell in love
We went down to the bay to contemplate the way
We lit the flame of desire
And set the night on fire
We danced along the shore mamita mi amore
She whispered in my ear
The words I longed to hear
And I fell in love
In the moonlight on the bay we danced the night away
I fell in love in Mexico
I fell in love in Mexico
I fell in love in Mexico
I awoke at the dawn, in the darkness she had gone
I looked for her all morning
She left and gave no warning
My heart was full of pain, the bay was full of rain
I hid my feelings well
And no one there could tell
I fell in love
I thought she was my friend, now the darkness has no end
Cause I fell in love in Mexico
I fell in love in Mexico
I fell in love in Mexico
I fell in love in Mexico
