[00:05.82] A girl cries in the early morning
[00:09.43] Woken by the sound of a gun
[00:12.06]
[00:14.09] She knows somewhere somebody,s dying
[00:17.38]
[00:17.89] Beneath the rising sun
[00:20.88]
[00:22.81] Outside the window of her cabaa
[00:26.88] The shadows are full of her fears
[00:29.67]
[00:31.30] She knows her lover is out there somewhere
[00:35.17]
[00:35.73] He,s been on the run for a year
[00:38.97]
[00:41.47] Oh, the soul of El Salvador
[00:46.16] Bells ring out in the chapel steeple
[00:54.58] A priest prepares to say mass
[00:57.32]
[00:59.45] The sad congregation come tired and hungry
[01:02.58]
[01:04.02] To pray that trouble will pass
[01:05.73]
[01:08.29] Meanwhile the sun rises over the dusty streets
[01:12.22] Where his crowd gathers round.
[01:14.71]
[01:16.70] Flies and mosquitoes are drinking from pools of blood
[01:21.13] Where the boby is found
[01:24.18]
[01:26.67] Oh, the soul of El Salvador
[01:32.56]
[01:35.68] Out on the ranch the rich man,s preparing
[01:39.93] To go for his morning ride
[01:42.42]
[01:44.48] They,ve saddled his horse out in the corral
[01:48.59] He walks out full of pride
[01:51.34]
[01:53.33] He looks like a cowboy from one of those pictures
[01:57.64] A president made in the past
[02:00.57]
[02:02.07] Peasants in rags, the stand back for they know
[02:06.18] That El Rico travels fast
[02:09.49]
[02:13.43] Over the soul of El Salvador
[02:18.78]
[02:21.79] A girl cries in the early morning
[02:26.59] Woken by the sound of a gun
[02:29.90]
[02:31.02] She knows somewhere somebody,s dying
[02:34.46]
[02:35.44] Beneath the rising sun
[02:38.63]
[02:39.94] Outside the window of her cabaa
[02:44.19] The shadows are full of her fears
[02:47.81]
[02:48.50] She knows her lover is out there somewhere
[02:52.86] He,s been on the run for a year
[02:55.91]
[02:58.75] Oh, the soul of El Salvador
[03:03.93]
[03:07.29] Oh, the soul of El Salvador
[03:13.09]
[03:16.09] Oh, the soul of El Salvador
