From my cell you could only see the sea And a white house in front of the blue A woman was looking out, María The name that you are to me Every morning you opened the window And I thought, that house is mine You will be my companion, María Crazy hope of every day And I dreamed of freedom And to leave here someday, day by day I already long for life From the hand of María The years have passed and they have passed Your dream the city and mine you If it wasn't for your eyes, María What would the city matter? My sight has flown like time flies My hair turned white and meanwhile you You look at me smiling, María Without you I would never resist And I dreamed of freedom And to leave here someday, day by day I already long for life From the hand of María Today the joy is as long as the years And waits for crazy encounters that I imagined Tonight they free me, María And I will be your companion And I dreamed of freedom And to leave here someday, day by day I already long for life From the hand of María And I dreamed of freedom And to leave here someday, day by day I already long for life From the hand of María © transcript Emily Beynon
