I found this on youtube to listen to a rendition of the song Maria Elena. I also found one with Michael Buble' singing the words. I think he aught to try again. The words a beautiful in Spanish though.

I like the song even more, knowing the words to it. When I find a particularly good artist singing it, Spanish or English I will pass it on.

Words to the Song--Maria Elena

Maria Elena you're the answer to a prayer,
Maria Elena can't you see how much I care,
To me your voice is like the echo of a sigh,
And when you're near my heart,
Can't speak above a sigh,
Maria Elena say that we will never part,

Maria Elena take me to your heart,
A love like mine is great enough for two,
To share this love is really all,
I ask of you..
Maria Elena say that we will never part,
Maria Elena take me to your heart,
A love like mine is great enough for two,
To share this love is really all,
I ask of you.
