Maria Elena lyrics

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 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 to back again,
Maria Elena, I love you forever more,
Please say it`s alright you`ll stay by my side til dawn.

(Instrumental)

I remember moonlit nights,
And dancing in the streets til break of day,
Yes I remember how it was,
No-one would seperate us come what may.

Like a dream it desolves away,
And morning will soon be here,
Revolution has come our way,
I`m warning, you now dear.

(Repeat twice)
Maria Elena, I`m going away to war,
I`m going to fight I may not to back again,
Maria Elena, I love you forever more,
Please say it`s alright you`ll stay by my side til dawn.
