In the village way up there in the mountains By the sunrise Lived a young boy And a young girl And he loved her Oh, when the day come to leave the village He went far away and she cried He never told her when he left her that he'd return And she was lonely way up in the mountains Beyond the sunrise, she had loved him He never told her when he left her that he'd return Ave Maria Ave Maria Bells from the abbey were ringing This is the prayer she was singing Ave Maria One day the young boy came back to see her To tell the young girl how much he loved her He searched the mountains beyond the sunrise Until he heard her voice Ave Maria Ave Maria Bells from the abbey were ringing This is the prayer she was singing Ave Maria
