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 (2X fading on 2nd) by: José Duarte [email protected]
