Mayra
Joan Sebastian
Mayra
I'm gonna light a hundred candles
For Saint Agnes, to help me out
To win the love of Mayra
'Cause without candles, I couldn't figure it out
I'm gonna pray a hundred rosaries
That's five thousand Hail Marys!
Plus, it gives me something to do
'Cause I think of her night and day
If neither the candles nor the rosaries
Nor the saint can intercede
I'm leaving town, I'm out for a while
And let my Mayra stay behind
If neither the candles nor the rosaries
Nor the saint can intercede
I'm leaving for a while, I'm out of this town
And let my Mayra stay behind
I'll come back and light a hundred candles
For Saint Agnes, a hundred for Saint Matthew
I'm getting pretty religious
Even though I've never been an atheist
I'll light a hundred for Saint Agnes
A hundred for Saint Matthew, a hundred for Saint Anthony
If the three of them pull off a miracle
I'll propose to Mayra, make her my wife
If neither the candles nor the rosaries
Nor the saints can intercede
I'm leaving town, I'm gone for good
And saying goodbye to my Mayra
If neither the candles nor the rosaries
Nor the saints can intercede
I'm leaving town, I'm gone for good
And saying goodbye to my Mayra
Saying goodbye to my Mayra
I'm leaving town, I'm gone for good
And saying goodbye to my Mayra
There she is, buddy!
