Lyrics:

Maria was born in the countryShe loved her homelandMaria was from a poor familyFor their girl they had greater plansAcross the sea not yet twentySailed our Maria, a man to seePerhaps marry dreams our MariaThis was to be eventually for our MariaMaria made plans for the futureSh had sons to her manMaria grew sad as the years passedShe did not understandYou must believe meThough its not easy, trust in meMy life's been wastedThere's nothing sacred I can seeThough we're togetherIt seems we've never known the wayThese lives we startedNow broken hearted everydayMaria works in the factoryShe makes shoes for the manMaria lives for her familyNow she does what she can.Hold on to meHold on to me MariaFor this was to beA tragedy for our MariaOh Maria don't you cryOh Maria dry your eyes
