Last night, as I lay sleeping
In this cold and lonely place I'm passing through
I dreamed of Santa Lija
And the happy days of childhood that I knew
The friends I left behind me
In that little town so far across the sea
They all came to remind me
Of yesterday and you and me

Let me go on dreaming
How can I face another day
Away from Santa Lija
Where what I thought was true love
Has found itself a new love
So I won't be returning
Though these dreams of you forever will remain
Goodbye to Santa Lija
It would break my heart to see her face again

Let me go on dreaming
How can I face another day
Away from Santa Lija
Where what I thought was true love
Has found itself a new love
So I won't be returning
Though these dreams of you forever will remain
Goodbye to Santa Lija
It would break my heart to see her face again
