Maria, I'm growing so tired of fighting this war,

Maria, I feel like I just can't go on anymore.

The sounds we make as they're dying

Hearing their screams and their crying

The children, their eyes are weeping;

we filled them with pain.

You know the reason I joined up to fight in this war.

Maria, please help me, I feel like I'm going insane.

Maria, at night in my dreams I keep calling your name.

After the battle is over

And I am just another soldier

Maria, I'm longing to hold you again in my arms.
