En los montes de Durango
Por las calles de Huachaca
La caza en Iguala
Pues al norte de Cuernavaca
La encontre en Taxco
Pues la nuevo de perdi
Pero anoche la abrazo
En la sombra del suneno
En las alas del Mezcal
On the blood red tiles
Of that room in the mountains
My heart wildly sang
As her petticoasts fell
Struck down by her beauty
And the moon on her dark skin
I prayed not to dream then
Though I dream often now
Deep down in the bottle
El gusano is waiting (the worm is waiting)
To teach us his knowledge
Of women and love
With worm, salt and lime
I will taste of his wisdom
I will drink to her memory
Drink the golden mezcal
In the hills of Durango
Through the streets of Huachaca
I chased her to Iguela
Then north to Cuernavaca
I found her in Taxco
But I lost her somehow
Now each night I embrace her
In the shadow of a dream
On the winqs of Mezcal
