Maria!
I've just met a girl named Maria
And suddenly that name
Will never be the same
To me

Maria!
I've just kissed a girl named Maria
And suddenly I've found
How wonderful a sound
Can be!

Maria!
Say it loud and there's music playing
Say it soft and it's almost like praying
Maria...
I'll never stop saying
Maria
