Santa Maria English translation
von Mireille Mathieu

In the mountains of Mexico,
Santa Maria
A girl kneels before your picture,
Santa Maria.
For Antonio went away to the city
far to the north,
And no greeting came,
no letter ever came from him.

Let a miracle happen
Santa Maria,
At night her songs ring
far up to the stars.
I want to see him again
Santa Maria,
Bring me back the one
I once lost.


And he said: "I'll stay true to you"
There in El Paso,
I'm looking for work for myself and money
There in El Paso.
I'll be back
in a few weeksfor the wedding
,
But the years will pass, He
broke His word.

Let a miracle happen
Santa Maria,
At night her songs ring
far up to the stars.
I want to see him again
Santa Maria,
Bring me back the one
I once lost.
Let a miracle happen
Santa Maria,
Let her songs ring at night
Far up to the stars.
I want to see him again
Santa Maria,
Bring back to me the one
I once lost,
Bring back to me the one
I once lost.
