Maria
The most beautiful sound I ever heard:
Maria
All the beautiful sounds of the world
Will never be the same to me.
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria
And suddenly that name
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria
in a single word
I just met a girl named Maria,
 
Say it soft and it's almost like praying.
Maria!
I just kissed a girl named Maria,
How wonderful a sound can be!
Maria!
Say it loud and there's music playing,
And suddenly I found
 
Say it soft and it's almost like praying.
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria
Say it loud and there's music playing,
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria
Maria
Maria, I'll never stop saying Maria
The most beautiful sound I ever heard.
Maria, I'll never stop saying Maria
