Intro

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

Chorus

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

Chorus
