Maria, I'm growing so tired of fighting this war,
Maria, I feel like I just can't go on anymore.
The sounds we make as they're dying
Hearing their screams and their crying
The children, their eyes are weeping;
we filled them with pain.

Maria, please help me, I feel like I'm going insane.
Maria, at night in my dreams I keep calling your name.
After the battle is over
And I am just another soldier
Maria, I'm longing to hold you again in my arms.
