lyrics

Mariana, listen to me,
I know an ocean lies between us,
But dear lady, honest truly,
I perceive more than I’ve seen thus far
And you, you’re much stronger, not much longer now ‘til this load comes off your back
You can shout now, let it out now, you don’t have to hold back


Mariana, in your bright eyes
I see dark skies ever looming
But amiga if I had the sunshine I would wrap it round your neck to warm you
Eastern beauty it’s a strange land,
And we’re strangers in this life
But dear lady, honest truly, it gets easier now, let it in a little light
And you, you’re much stronger, not much longer now ‘til this load comes off your back
You can shout now, let it out now, you don’t have to hold back,
have to hold back

Mariana, when your voice fades
Oh your soul shines like a beacon
And dear lady when your boy says that he misses you do you hear him?
Eastern beauty it’s a strange land,
And we’re strangers in this life
But dear lady, honest truly, it gets easier now, let it in a little light
And you, you’re much stronger, not much longer now ‘til this load comes off your back
You can shout now, let it out now,
you don’t have to hold- you, you’re much stronger,
not much longer now ‘til this load comes off your back,
you can shout now, let it out now,
You don’t have to hold back,
have to hold back

Mariana, listen to me
You don’t have to hold back
