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
|
