Gene Pitney - Maria Elena

Текст песни

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
