(Jay Livingston - Ralph Freed)

Adios amigo, adios my friend,
The road we have travelled has come to an end.
When two love the same love, one love has to lose,
And it's you who she longs for, it's you she will choose.

Adios compadre, what must be must be,
Remember to name one muchacho for me.
I ride to the Rio, where my life I must spend,
Adios amigo, adios my friend.

--- Instrumental while he whistles ---

Adios compadre, let us shed no tears,
May all your maanas bring joy through the years.
Away from these memories, my life I must spend,
Adios amigo, adios my friend...

--- Instrumental while he whistles to fade ---
