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
