We were standin' on a mountain top
Kami berdiri di puncak gunung
Where the cactus flowers grow
Di mana bunga kaktus tumbuh
I was wishin' that the world would stop
Aku berharap dunia ini berhenti
When you said we'd better go
Saat kau bilang kita sebaiknya pergi

We took a rowboat 'cross the Rio Grande
Kami naik perahu dayung melintasi Rio Grande
Captain Pablo was our guide
Kapten Pablo adalah pemandu kami
For two dollars in a weathered hand
Dengan dua dolar di tangan yang sudah berkerut
He rowed us to the other side
Dia mendayung kami ke sisi yang lain

CHORUS:
And we were dreamin' like the end was not in sight
Dan kami bermimpi seolah akhir tak terlihat
And we dreamed all afternoon
Dan kami bermimpi sepanjang sore
We asked the world to wait so we could celebrate
Kami meminta dunia menunggu agar bisa merayakan
A gringo honeymoon
Sebuah bulan madu gringo

We stepped out onto the golden sand
Kami melangkah ke atas pasir keemasan
The sun was high and burning down
Matahari bersinar tinggi dan terik
Rented donkeys from an old blind man
Menyewa keledai dari seorang pria tua buta
Saddled up and rode to town
Dikempit dan kami berkendara ke kota

Tied our donkeys to an ironwood tree
Mengikat keledai kami di pohon ironwood
By the street where the children play
Di jalan tempat anak-anak bermain
We walked in the first place we could see
Kami masuk ke tempat pertama yang kami lihat
Servin' cold beer in the shade
Menyajikan bir dingin di bawah naungan

CHORUS:
We were drinkin' like the end was not in sight
Kami minum seolah akhir tak terlihat
And we drank all afternoon
Dan kami minum sepanjang sore
We asked the world to wait so we could celebrate
Kami meminta dunia menunggu agar bisa merayakan
A gringo honeymoon
Sebuah bulan madu gringo

Met a cowboy who said that he
Bertemu seorang koboi yang bilang dia
Was running from the DEA
Melarikan diri dari DEA
He left a home, a wife, a family
Dia meninggalkan rumah, istri, dan keluarga
When he made his getaway
Saat dia melarikan diri

We followed him on down a street of dust
Kami mengikutinya di jalan berdebu
To his one room run-down shack
Ke gubuknya yang reyot dengan satu ruangan
He blew a smoke ring and he smiled at us
Dia menghembuskan cincin asap dan tersenyum kepada kami
I ain't never goin' back
Aku takkan pernah kembali

CHORUS:
We were flyin' like the end was not in sight
Kami terbang seolah akhir tak terlihat
And we soared all afternoon
Dan kami melayang sepanjang sore
We asked the world to wait so we could celebrate
Kami meminta dunia menunggu agar bisa merayakan
A gringo honeymoon
Sebuah bulan madu gringo

He said there's one last place that you should go
Dia bilang ada satu tempat terakhir yang harus kamu kunjungi
He took us to the town's best bar
Dia membawa kami ke bar terbaik di kota
He knew a crusty caballero
Dia mengenal seorang caballero yang garang
Who played an old gut string guitar
Yang memainkan gitar senar usang

And he sang like Marty Robbins could
Dan dia bernyanyi seperti Marty Robbins
Played like no one I've known
Bermain seperti tak ada yang pernah kulihat
For a while we knew that life was good
Sebentar kami tahu bahwa hidup itu indah
It was ours to take back home
Itu adalah milik kami untuk dibawa pulang

CHORUS:
We were singin' like the end was not in sight
Kami bernyanyi seolah akhir tak terlihat
And we sang all afternoon
Dan kami bernyanyi sepanjang sore
We asked the world to wait so we could celebrate
Kami meminta dunia menunggu agar bisa merayakan
A gringo honeymoon
Sebuah bulan madu gringo

We were standin' on a mountain top
Kami berdiri di puncak gunung
Where the cactus flowers grow
Di mana bunga kaktus tumbuh
I was wishin' that the world would stop
Aku berharap dunia ini berhenti
When you said we'd better go
Saat kau bilang kita sebaiknya pergi
