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.

You know the reason I refuse to fight anymore.



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.



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

You know the reason I refuse to fight anymore.
