I'm a poor peasant boy I'm a dirt farmer's son And I feel like a king when I know that my work is all done For at twilight I know There's a place I must go And sing my song of love for one who waits all alone
[Chorus:] Yo te amo Maria Maria amor Yo te amo Maria Maria, mi amor
Oh the beautiful sight Of the great city lights Where most people run To try to have fun, not for me
For this woman of mine Is much sweeter than wine And I spend all the time I can find With my Maria
[Chorus:] Oh, the joy of my life Will one day be my wife And we'll spend all our days Watching the world roll on by When her time comes to fly To that home in the sky I pray the angels above Will love her as much as I
