There`s a cottage in the village in the country
I have learned to love
And every night the curfew rings
And people sing their prayers to heaven above
In the cottage there lives a girl
Who`s crying for she can see
Soldiers marching away to war
They`re fighting to be free
Maria Elena I`m going away to war
I`m going to fight I may not be back again
Maria Elena I love you forever more
Please say it`s alright you`ll stay by my side
`till dawn
I remember moonlit nights
And dancing in the streets `till break of day
Yes I remember how it was
No one would separate us come what may
Like a dream it dissolves away
And morning will soon be here
Revolution has come our way
I`m warning you now dear
(2x fading on 2nd)
Maria Elena I`m going away to war
I`m going to fight I may not be back again
Maria Elena I love you forever more
Please say it`s alright you`ll stay by my side
`till dawn
