Maria was born in the country |
|
She loved her homeland |
|
Maria was from a poor family |
|
For their girl they had greater plans |
|
Across the sea not yet twenty |
|
Sailed our Maria, a man to see |
|
Perhaps marry dreams our Maria |
|
This was to be eventually for our Maria |
|
Maria made plans for the future |
|
Sh had sons to her man |
|
Maria grew sad as the years passed |
|
She did not understand |
|
You must believe me |
|
Though its not easy, trust in me |
|
My life's been wasted |
|
There's nothing sacred I can see |
|
Though we're together |
|
It seems we've never known the way |
|
These lives we started |
|
Now broken hearted everyday |
|
Maria works in the factory |
|
She makes shoes for the man |
|
Maria lives for her family |
|
Now she does what she can. |
|
Hold on to me |
|
Hold on to me Maria |
|
For this was to be |
|
A tragedy for our Maria |
|
Oh Maria don't you cry |
|
Oh Maria dry your eyes |
