[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
